We all know that a mom's job is hard work -- but is it time to make it a
paid position? A leading South African businesswoman has said it's time
to institute a 10% where stay-at-home moms would receive 10% of their
husband's paycheck as compensation for their contributions to the
household. She believes the role of mom is currently an undervalued Monster Beats Solo HD
position and that by adding some financial benefits to the job, it
would allow more women to be home without resenting the sacrifice of
their paychecks. What do you think? Even if all the money had to go
straight to paying bills, would it help to know you'd earned some
tangible income for your hard work?
While most moms just nag their daughters to make them a grandma, one
Australian woman's doing them one-better. She's donating her uterus to
her daughter, who was born without a womb. She'd previously tried to
serve as a surrogate for her 34-year-old daughter, who does have ovaries
that produce eggs, but it didn't work. Her 34-year-old daughter also
unsuccessfully attempted adoption, which has led her to give the
transplant a try. If the initial surgery is a success, she'll have to
wait a year before attempting IVF treatments. This is the second
mother-daughter womb donation, with the first one happening earlier this
year in Sweden.
As a teen, getting sucked into your parents' hobbies can often feel like
punishment. But, for one 16-year-old girl, whose father is a
self-declared "Renaissance Fighter," his hobby really did become her
punishment. After she attempted to run away from home, he first beat her
with a switch, then decided it wasn't sufficient. He then outfitted her
in Renaissance armor, handed her a shield and wooden sword and forced
her to battle him for two hours when she then collapsed. Monster Beats Solo
Though badly bruised, she was eventually able to text a friend who, in
turn, called the police. Her dad was booked into jail for assault and
her step-mom was also arrested for failing to intervene in the medieval
punishment. Anyone surprised that she tried to run away to begin with?
Arr, matey. Can we interest ye in some pirate's lemonade? It's for a
good cause. One dad, whose two young sons wanted to start a lemonade
stand so they could buy new toys, convinced them to donate their
earnings instead. In 2008, the then three and six-year-olds, raised a
couple hundred dollars. Over the years, earnings (and therefore their
donations) have increased. Each year, they pick a new charitable
organization to contribute to and their summertime lemonade stand
earnings all go there. In 2011, that organization got more than $1,000
from these entrepreneurial, philanthropic young boys.
Rev your engines ladies, because the hot new career for moms is monster
truck driving. A small but growing number of moms is ditching the
minivan and climbing in the monster truck. The racing season is
part-time (mainly on the weekends) and seasonal (mostly January through
March), which makes it conducive to a . http://www.beatsmonstersaustralia.com/
working mom's schedule. Not only is the schedule easy on a mom, but
their kids love it. Many of their children sit together in the stands
and cheer their moms on. Some of the kids even get in on the action
themselves. One mom, "Fancy" Nancy Weston, says her driving grew out of
her son's love of Power Wheels. Not content to let mom have all the fun,
her sons ages eight and six are also monster truck drivers (in smaller
trucks, designed to accommodate their smaller frames). It's said that a
number of moms on the circuit have six-year-old sons. We're pretty sure
that having your mom be a monster truck driver is a dream-come-true for
most six-year-old boys.
