A homemaker is a person whose prime occupation is to care for their family and home. The term homemaker is used in preference to either housewife or househusband because it is inclusive, defines the role in terms of activities, rather than relation to another, and is independent of marital status. The terms (informal) stay-at-home mom and stay-at-home dad are also used, particularly if the person views their central role as caring for children.
Being a stay-at-home mom/dad should not come as a forced option for any woman/man. It must be chosen after deliberate consideration of each individual's unique circumstances.
