[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

YOU DONT HAVE A JOB.[/quote]

So? And you’re not a doctor/lawyer/teacher/(whatever field you chose not to go into.)

Do you list all the things you DO NOT do or do you just tell people what you do when they ask?

To quote you, assuming you're PP:

I'd say "I don't work."

lol okay. I’ll say “I’m not an Olympic skier, I’m not an astronaut, I’m not a waitress, etc!...” It will be like a fun game of charades every time someone asks an innocent question. All so that a certain group of insecure working moms don’t get offended. Understood.

Where are all these insecure working moms you keep going on about?  You sound like a moron.[/quote]
