Use of the term "working mums" to refer to mothers in paid employment is to imply that the mum who stays at home does not work. That is a gross understatement of their valuable contribution to the wellbeing of the children and the home.
The term "full time mum" is also being phased out for "stay at home mum" That in itself is an acknowledgement that there are no part time mums; only mums who chose to work from outside the home and mums who work by staying in the home.
Motherhood is not a job. It's who you are. You don't stop being a mum because your children are away from you or out of your site. You can't take it off and put it back on like medical scrubs or an engineers hat. You are a mum until you die and you don't have to have pushed a child out to be called one either. If you love, nurture and care for another, you are a mother.
