Hear, hear.

My wife has spent the last 22 years caring for at least 1 kid aged 12 or under.
She's spent the last 12 years caring for at least 3 kids aged 12 or under.

12 more years 'til the youngest turns 18.
Always told her that she has the important job.

The IRS

The IRS is probably looking for a way to tax it.

Nice. Thanks for reminding me to get mom some flowers today.

"For boys who will one day date my daughter" was pretty good too.

So far this year/Mother's Day has cost me:

an upgraded car(nothing fancy, very practical)
an upgraded kitchen(pending, once our earthquake repairs are complete)
a trip to the US to visit family(in a few months)
a pair of Ug boots(on Mother's Day).

Man have I got off LIGHT considering the missus has to look after 4 boys.

The only problem is my boys and the dog aren't paying their share of their Mother's rather cheap salary.

10 years and 3 months until we can kick the kids out of the house!
