A stay-at-home mother should never be compensated by society for sitting at home doing laundry.
If her partner decides that she is worthy of a token salary for doing the laundry, then it’s the partner’s personal and private decision to compensate her. If her adult child decides that her staying home provided a tangible benefit that should be rewarded, then that adult child can retroactively compensate her accordingly.
If you think it’s acceptable, or even mandatory, for society to compensate full-time parents, then you had better equally support those same stay-at-home parents compensating their children if they do a shoddy job.
Every other job is tied to performance and deliverables, isn’t it?
