OK, I just have to vent.
This past weekend, I was at a social event. I was speaking with an older gentleman whom I hadn't met before. I asked him what he does (he's a doctor) and we chatted a bit about that, then he said to me:
"And you? Are you a housewife?"
WTF!!!!!
He couldn't have asked "What do you do?" or just left it at "And you?" leaving the door open for me to say "I'm a <fill in occupation>" or "I'm a stay-at-home-mom / homemaker". He had to ask specifically if I was a HOUSEWIFE. Does anybody even use that term any more??
*argh*
