[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WOH but I think SAHM is the most neutral term you can use. [/quote] You identify with the work you do. What do you do? I am a doctor. What do you do? I am a full-time mom. I would never call myself a SAHM, because I do not hear others call themselves a WOHM. We all are moms. I choose to spend more time with my kids than the WOHMs and when they were little I chose that they stayed at home with me instead of a childcare provider. [/quote] This is part of the problem. I have a friend who asks "what's making you happy these days? / what makes you happy?" instead of "what have you been up to? / what do you do?" She's amazing. It also makes both full time and non working women down to a 1 dimensional creature. The most interesting parts of me don't relate to my job. The best things I do are not related to my job and I have a decently fun and meaningful job. [/quote]
