What is The ROI of Your Mom?

From a good night kiss to being your biggest supporter, it sometimes feels like your mom can do anything. But what is the true value of your mother? This graphic, directly inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk, examines the ROI of your MOM.

Of course, no infographic could fit everything that mom’s do for us. In light of this, please help us out by telling us the ROI for something your mom did for you.

    Cannot really quantify it, can we. My Mom filled us with the love of family, and food and cookies, and all things baked! She was happiest when she headed a large table filled with delicious food surrounded by hungry, noisy family! Value? Family first, always!

    She helped me dye my hair various colors on several occasions.

    All the best.

    While this graphic only portrays a stereotypical stay-at-home mom which is somewhat problematic – I very much enjoyed this! And as this infographic clearly shows the supermom has very little ROI sometimes but is always there for you as your biggest supporter. I also like the cute reference to Mastercard adverts – “Actual Cost=Priceless; ROI=Immeasurable”

    Out of all the duties, my mom was definitely the Ultimate Cook. I became a vegetarian in high school, then pescetarian, then vegetarian again, then a vegan and now back to being a pescetarian. All the meals she had to cook separately for me! Poor Mom. I’m definitely going to send this one to my mom for Mother’s day.

    Back in Peru, from the tender age of 8 and for the next 7 years, mum sent me to English school on top of the normal schooling hours. Whilst all my mates were in the streets playing soccer I was learning English Grammar before mastering Spanish itself. When I migrated to Australia, it was easy to get going with the good ol’ English from day one. Mum’s ROI: Massive!!

    Think this shows what any mum would do. Mine was a single mum who also worked and did all this.

    Jorge, that’s a great story and another great example of how Mom’s ROI is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

    Yep, I’ve known plenty of working moms that tackled these duties, too, including my own. Thanks, Mom!

    Mine was a divorced mother of two who taught me, though I didn’t know it at the time, that whatever your personal problems, you don’t visit them on your children, no matter how dire they are. She worked hard, made sure there was food on the table without help from anyone, and made us feel safe and secure. I never knew my father contributed nothing to our well-being, or how badly she was treated, until I was an adult. And even then it didn’t come from her, but another relative. She never showed her fear or insecurity or anger, which she must have had in abundance. All I saw was strength and dignity. What a magnificent life lesson. Thank you, Mom.

    I loved this. I reminded me of all the crap I put my mother through, but no matter what my mother was always there for all those actions in your picture. All moms play a role in every picture because at some point they have done it. Thanks for reminding me how cool my mother really is.

    Making me lunch everyday to school. Even if the food tends to get cold by lunchtime. 
    ROI: 100% nutrition from home cooked meals + emotional boost from the love
    Love you “Nanay” Mercedes! (Filipino word for mother) :)

    This just brought a tear to my eyes as I think about all that I do each and everyday as a mompreneur and still have time for myself. Truly, motherhood has been my greatest adventure so far and I look forward to what each day has in store for me. I realized that the KEY to truly being who I AM today has everything to do with the passion/energy that my mom put into me growing up. The laughter, the memories and the food (lol). All things that we recall when we are grown up. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFOGRAPH
