[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well how about why do American mothers call themselves "moms."? Its really irritating for a woman to keep identifying herself as a "mom" as if that's all she is. Stay at home mom, work at home mom, mom of three... I'm so sick of it.[/quote] If I made the rules, the word people used to refer to mothers would be "mothers", and the word people used to refer to fathers would be "fathers". I'm a mother, not a mom. "Mom" is a name. Also if I made the rules, the verb "to parent" and its associated forms would all disappear.[/quote] Agree! When did people start saying all of this anyways?[/quote]
