19QOS19 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The term "full-time mum". Get tae f**k. I've nothing against stay at home mums but that terminology annoys me. Does that mean parents who work are part-timers? They're no more of a mum being at home than working mums are. The role of a parent is always full-time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick my tin hat on here, but if they are at home full-time then they are probably more of a mum than those who work. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying a better mum, just more present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Stay at home' mum is the correct term then. I just find 'full-time mum' quite offensive to those mums who have to go out and work. Aye you definitely need your tin hat on here! They will be more present, but in no way does that make them "more of a mum" imo. Part of a parents role is to go out and provide for their family so you could even argue that working mums are "more of a mum". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the term full time mum work if kid attends school for 6 hours 5 days a week? Surely then it's just unemployed and has decided they don't want to return to the workplace because this is an easier gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'm not in any way trying to question those who don't need to or choose not to work. My grievance is purely the wording - 'full-time'. If those who don't work are the full-time mums does that mean women at work aren't mums when they are away from their kids? Naw! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew 'more of a mum' would rile, but I did specifically state NOT better and simply more present, so I'm not sure why you've ignored that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full time mum is just shit wording to stop these people writing unemployed on FB. I'm not a parent but I fully understand when people say you never stop being a mum/dad no matter how old they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good parent can't decide to take a week off from parenting, they are all full-time. Going to work doesn't make them part-time parents. Again, I'm not questioning the roles of either side, I'm saying the wording is wrong. They are 'stay at home' mums. Both working mums and non-working mums are both still full-time mums! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use the same argument for any "role." Just for the sake of argument, if a part-time footballer isn't playing football is he no longer a footballer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents will always be parents. Totally different.

It depends how you define full-time, doesn't it? I'm working with not having another job but I'm sure others (including you) may have another idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working with not having another job but I'm sure others (including you) may have another idea. The role of a parent is full-time is my point. Another issue is that it's spouted around as if it's a job:- "What do you do?""I'm a full-time mum"It's not a job. I doubt it would be a walk in the park being a stay at home parent, but it's not a job. The correct answer there is "I don't have a job but I'm a stay at home parent". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a job because they're not being paid for it. They may work harder than somebody who is earning a wage but it's NOT A JOB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
