I have always had a little trouble with the term "working mom".
As a stay at home Mom of four, I always was and still am "working".
We need to use the phrase "working outside the home" as opposed to "working in the home".
I think the phrase "working Mom" is used in some circles to denigrate the real work of stay at home Moms.
Think how offended some one would be if I said to them, "Oh, your a nurse! How nice you don't have to work!"

When I'm asked if my stay-at-home, homeschooling wife "works", my stock answer is to say "She works harder than I do. She just doesn't get a paycheck for it."
