[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] I literally just referred to myself as "WOH." The "full-time mom" thing just sounds unnecessarily defensive to me.[/quote] It is not being defensive. It is said with a lot of pride. [/quote] Pride? That's a new one. So you're proud of yourself for staying home?[/quote] 1. Why wouldn't any women feel proud of her own choices? 2. "Full Time Mom" is just as horrible as housewife/homemaker. Puke/puke/puke. [/quote]
