I'm a fucking HOUSEWIFE?

[ToadinTheHoleWithKetchup]

Just had the car insurance renewal on DH's car. I am a named driver, and the details listed state that I am a 'housewife'. How the fuck is this even a category?

What do you want it to say?

Well it's the category I would use!

Are you a SAHP? Would you rather it said 'unemployed?'

What's shameful about being a housewife?

If necessary, my job title.

What would you prefer? Unemployed domestic help?

Are you employed? If so your DH has filled in the application wrongly

I am a little confused. What else would it say? Do you have another job?

It's whatever your DH told them ...

What is your job title?

What's shameful about being a housewife?

Because it's not the 1950s

It's what I'm listed down as. I'm a SAHM.

OP I'm guessing you have another job. However job titles can actually impact premiums. I didn't realise that til a while ago...maybe he put housewife as it meant cheaper insurance premiums...I dunno...

Glad your HB is getting his oats.

Do you have a job? Your profession makes a difference to your risk profiles. SAHP don't do a commute but do often do the school run and also drive during the day compared to an office worker.

I think my car insurance company call it "homemaker" or something.

Are you employed?

What is your job title?

What is your job title then, yummy mummy?

I agree with you OP, outdated term with unhelpful connotations.

What job do you do?

If you’re unemployed it is likely that stating housewife brought slightly lower premiums than stating you’re unemployed.

I dying to know what your job is now.

I've seen house husband down as a job title too if that helps?

Are you in charge of the house cleaning, tidying, cooking, laundry, shopping, random errands, food planning/ budgeting, clothes sorting/ buying/ getting ready for the day activities, feed the pets, decorating? And the children? Food, nappies, naps, toys, colouring books, reading/ learning to speak/ writing, entertaining, taking to park/ school/ activities/ soft play, homework helper now recently promoted to teacher, nurse- wound healer, sibling relationship therapist....
Because if you are, you can proudly say you are a housewife. Being a housewife is actually a tough job!

Haha I put down ‘housewife’ as my job title when getting a new phone.

Is there a more modern name? Not a modern thing to be so I’m happy to be called a housewife.

OP I'm guessing you have another job.

I do not have another job, I have one job. This was not asked for when we took the insurance, I would have stated self employed.
