[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question to those who feel the phrase "Full-time mom" is a dig at WOHMs --- what word do you wish the "full-time moms" would use for themselves?[/quote] "I don't work."[/quote] But they do work- they do the work of child care. Instead of paying someone to do that work, they are doing it themselves. Would it be better if they called themselves child care providers? [/quote] We aren't even necessarily talking about kids younger than school-age, though no SAHM who calls herself a full-time mom as answered what she then calls herself, though it's been asked a number of times. [b]Taking care or your own children is parenting. It's not a job. I don't call myself a chef when I make dinner for my family.[/b][/quote] Maybe the best reply for SAHMs to "What do you do?" is just to say, "I'm a parent/mom." The interlocutor can infer that means she is "just" a parent and doesn't "work."[/quote]
