[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was a SAHM/housewife and was glad when she was old enough she could just say she was retired. Do I have to wait until I'm 65 to say I'm retired? Why don't men call themselves working husbands/dads? stay at home dads? Work at home husbands? It's stupid. We need a new name for SAHMs/wives. Homemaker is stupid title too. The Real Housewives franchise has made it so no one wants to call themselves a housewife.[/quote]

[b]She's not retired if she never worked and never earned a pension.[/b]

My husband and I both have large retirement portfolios.  I can't imagine relying on one spouse'.[/quote]

And if you meet her, and if she says that she's retired, you can then say, "No, you're not."

Other than that, really, how is it any business of yours, what she calls herself?[/quote]

eh, there are retired people who have decades of work under their belt but can only afford to retire at their current lifestyle because they have a spouse who continues to work.  Maybe they won't begin to collect a pension until they are of "retirement age".  If they have no children at home or their kids are school aged should we tell them "No.  You aren't really retired.  You are a housewife/househusband/homemaker"?
