[quote=Anonymous]NP. I’m a SAHM now, but worked for many years (had nannies / Au pairs). SAHMs, please stop using this phrase! It makes you sound so dumb! Maybe there’s a disconnect on what “raising” means here. I think some people are using it interchangeably with “caring for”. To me, “raising your kids” means: - financially providing for them (as a family unit, not that a mom needs to have an income) - overseeing their education - overseeing their health needs - overseeing their social development - celebrating milestones / holidays with them - being there for them emotionally and physically - making sure their needs are met So yeah, I think most moms are “raising their kids”.
