[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a mom who doesn’t work outside the home and if someone described me as an [b]unemployed [/b]mom I would probably punch them in their flinty eyed face so whoever wrote that, if you’re wondering why the moms at your school don’t like you let this be a clue. [/quote] This seems like an odd bone to pick. From the Oxford Dictionary: un·em·ployed (adjective) [b](of a person) without a paid job but available to work[/b] Whether you are educated and wealthy or poor and uneducated, both of you can be considered unemployed. Even if you don't like it, it's true.[/quote] Beyond the literal definition, it can have a negative connotation (you’re not ambitious, you don’t work, etc., which if you’ve ever been a homemaker with kids, is patently untrue on all accounts)[/quote]
