Just what is a SAHM?

I was taking a class recently from a well known designer--she is on the design team for a couple of companies, she teaches classes, writes articles, and sells her own creations from time to time online.


She started her introduction by saying "I'm a stay at home mom who also....." and then went on to describe what she does professionally.

No, I mean it; do you really encounter that many people who feel the need to explain to others what their deal is using acronyms or qualifiers or any terms that might be hard to understand?

but I see nothing wrong with a WOHM calling herself a full time mom. If I choose to continue to work when my children are all of school age or out of school, I would then consider myself an employed adult.

<caps convey shouting and excitement as posters are routinely asked not to "shout" by using all caps. >




I tend to forget that uppercase means yelling.

This caught my attention because I can't tell you how many times my mother (a 4th grade teacher) has had children accidently call her mom at school. I know she's not their mom while they're there, but it's just kind of funny to me that you used that example. **Not trying to start a debate here..just thought I'd mention that little tidbit**

Eh nothing to it Tina. She's just annoyed you reported her and noticed her only goal is to personally attack Katie, for kicks.
