[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please point out instances where this phrase has been used. Because it’s not. [/quote]

I'm a SAHM who has never used the term, but older gentlemen have used it towards me ("oh, you are a full time mom") in conversation.  I've always thought of it as an outdated phrase.[/quote]

I have really only heard the terms SAHM, housewife, full time mom, etc. used to describe other people.  It’s pretty rare that I hear anyone describe themselves this way.  Usually people say something like “I’m a pediatrician, but I’m home with the kids right now.”  Or “I retired from the army last year.”  Or “I was a nurse, but I am thinking of switching into accounting when the kids get older.”  
It’s rare that I hear someone respond to a question about their own paid work with answers about unpaid work.

OP here. I noticed someone from my kid’s school (a mom) who is an acquaintance of mine described herself on her Facebook profile as a “Full-time mom.”  [/quote]

Put whatever you wish on your Facebook profile.  If you want to write “Part time nurse and Full time mom!”  Go for it.

Op, thinking that might be a dig says more about you than it does her.[/quote]
