Although its easy to say what WAHM stands for (Work At Home Mom), it’s a little bit harder to define exactly what WAHM means. After searching the Internet for a clear definition, we decided to come up with one of our own. For purposes of this site, a WAHM is the following:
A mom, with children of any age who are dependent on her, who earns some amount of income working at a job in which the primary amount of work time is spent based in the home.
This is definitely a broad statement. It does not stipulate the number of hours the mom has to work or how much she has to make. It also doesn’t require that the mom own her own business (which some other people do require in the definition).
The types of “jobs” that fit into the definition are extremely varied. Examples include moms who telecommute for corporations, moms who run home party businesses, and moms who run whole companies out of their homes. The definition of “WAHM” is only limited by the mom’s imagination.
In the coming months, we will endeavor to flesh out more how others define WAHM.
