[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question to those who feel the phrase "Full-time mom" is a dig at WOHMs --- what word do you wish the "full-time moms" would use for themselves?[/quote]

"I don't work."[/quote]

This is weird.

People define themselves by what they do, not what they don’t do. When people ask you about your job, do you say “I’m not a doctor” or do you say “I’m an engineer.” It’s really strange to want SAHMS/full time moms to be the only ones to list what they don’t do for a living. [/quote]

Agreed. What new circle of mom shaming hell is this when now SAHMs are the only who can claim full time mom? Even if you work outside the home you are still a full time mom. Once you have a child, you're a  mom period; Not just part of the time, all of the time.

Can you still say you are a "full time mom" if you put her your kid in daycare part time to "get a break" or go to the gym, or if your child goes to preschool half or full day? Or what about when they go to elementary, middle or High school and you are alone for 8 hours a day. What about those "full time moms" that hire nannies or maids?  Technically don't you become "just a housewife" because you are "outsourcing your childcare" or hiring someone else to help you in your home responsibilities?   Either you own make money through employment outside the home or you don't. It's really that simple.
