[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep,, there is not any perfect term for this (yet). "SAHM" is not accurate since we hardly "stay at home" most days. I think "full-time mom" is better, but if it's objectionable to other moms, I'd be happy to use some other term.

Suggestions? [b]It would be so nice to have a term that doesn't diminish the real work we SAHMs do OR the real parenting of moms who do other work during the daytime.[/b]

Yes. I haven't ever found one word that conveys all this. I usually say something more wordy that I hope sounds neutral, like, "I don't work outside the home, [b]I run the house and the family instead[/b]."

Let's all try on both sides not to look for offense when it's just semantics.

[b]This is odd.  Who do you think "runs the house and the family" when both parents work[/b]?  [/quote]

Are you really that insecure? [/quote]

Have you just conveniently tuned out this entire thread and all the other annoying mommy-war threads that have come before?  BOTH sides have insecurities, no matter how much they protest, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.  There are just as many SAHMs as WOHM or WAHM who complain about the various monikers that apply to them.

Are you insecure or just a troll?
