"Just call me a female primary caregiver."

Mothers dont want to be called mothers. Today I perchased a Guadian and inside was a fustrating article on The Modern Woman. Mothercare brought out a survey this week that two thirds of mothers dislike the title 'housewife' and would rather be called 'stay at home mums'. I can imagine that being a 'stay at home mum' is very difficult and hard work and should not be looked down on by those with "proper job". The word housewife used to make people think of gin and tonic and valium but no longer is the stigma attacted so cant people just be people and stop stressing about titles so much.
