In a world of job titles

Since I became a SAHM I feel at loss and insecure every time I have to fill out forms where I am asked for my current job, job title and job descriptions. Most of the time, I leave it blank or sometime just for kicks, I write movie star as my job title.

But lately, I started writing SAHM on the blank space. I am sure a lot of people still don't know what it stands for. I don't care to explain anymore. They can always google it or look it up in wiki :)

I have long accepted the fact that people do not think highly of SAHMs. They think SAHMs are a bunch of uneducated and lazy people. It's hard to explain to other people how SAHMs are the most creative, multi-tasking, and hard-working people I know unless they are SAHMs themselves.

I thought if I don't feel pride in what I am and what I do then people will also feel that way.

I am a SAHM and proud of it too.
