[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanda doesn't want a pity party. She merely wants SAHMs to stop forcing working moms to use terms like WOHM. It's silly and unnecessary. And she's not being condescending. Rather, she's trying to make clear for folks how working moms have two jobs...whereas SAHMs have one job. See how I just said that SAHMs have a job? I did. I get it. Working moms get it. Society gets that SAHMs have the job of caring for kids and their home. [/quote]

Seriously, you do sound quite bitter. Nobody's forcing you to use any term. This is a parenting board. Some issues are particular to moms who work outside the home, aka WOHM. As in a WOHM asking, "how do you find time to make dinner from scratch in the evenings?" The asker of that question probably won't benefit from the answer "I start cooking at 4pm" from a SAHM or a WAHM. That's why we distinguish via acronyms. If using "WOHM" does not benefit you in any way, then don't use it. If I want to know how to get my kid to eat broccoli, I don't say "I'm a SAHM and would like to know..." because it doesn't make a difference. [/quote]
