What is this thing called, "Full Time Mother?" What an odd saying. It seems to refer to when Mom goes off to work away from the child. Mom is out of the house at an income producing job. But that does not make her a part-time Mom. She is still a Mom. If the Mom stays at home and the child goes off to school for eight hours, they are still apart for that time, but we call her a "Full Time Mom." It is strange how we find put down terms to express our prejudice against Moms who go to work outside the home. I don't think women use this term, so maybe it is a male thing?

Of course. Why aren't dads that work full time called part time dads? When a child reaches adulthood and is living independently [one hopes]and is no longer a child , does one become no parent at all--is it the end of being a mom or dad? Just stating the obvious.
