Dear Fonseca,
My husband and I had a baby girl six weeks ago. The other night, I joked that my husband should pay me for being a stay-at-home mom. The joke turned into a serious discussion. He said I shouldn't be paid because being a mom is my job. I told him I should be paid by him because if I was still working we'd have to pay for daycare and a house cleaner. Things have been a bit frosty since Monday. Should stay at home moms be paid by their husbands? I think they should? Do you agree with me or my husband?
