I respectfully disagree. After my kids go off to school, I'm still doing a lot of things that benefit my kids directly, although they are not with me. I may be volunteering in their school, grocery shopping, getting rid of the outgrown clothes and toys in their closets, mowing the lawn, taking the car to the garage for an oil change, picking up dry cleaning, taking the grandparents to doctor appointments, fixing random broken things around the house or searching for lost items, picking up books that have been reserved at the library, planning weekend outings/play dates or family vacations, taking pets to the vet, gardening ...
Both stay at home mom and housewife are misnomers. I'm hardly ever home. We need new terminology. [b]Maybe "family manager"?[/b][/quote]

Here's a novelty--I didnt even need a term for how I spend my time once I moved out of D.C. I never find myself answering the question "what do you do" unless I'm filling out an insurance form at the doctor's office.  No one where I live now cares or asks. They know me as a person. I have acquaintances and neighbors for years and have no idea where they go to work or who their "Boss" is. [/quote]
