Great British Bake Off

[Doodlekitty]

DH Thinks I'm going mad. Sat watching GBBO and all contestants are introduced. Female contestant is described as 'Full time Mum'. This is a term which boils my piss at the best of times. All for choice etc, but I'm not a part time Mum' because I work.
Next contestant is a male 'Stay at home Dad.' Why isn't he a full time Dad? Why the implication that mums are full or part time but dad's are merely location based?

DH Thinks I'm overthinking it. Am I?

Why should I feel that focusing on raising my children is less important, less of a personal achievement, less aspirational than being an accountant?

Being an Early Years Practitioner or a Nanny are perfectly respectable jobs. People working in these roles may be achievers with high aspirations. But because nobody pays me to carry out these roles with my own children, there is something wrong with me, something lesser, something shameful.

No. I was a Full Time Mother. I did a good job and I am proud of my choices.

Who had a surrogate?? I switched on a bit late and must have missed this?!

The welsh stay at home Dad, whose showstopper biscuit creation showed him him holding a pink blob baby underneath a palm tree. To represent when he and his partner used an American surrogate to procure a child.

I think it is their own choice. I know one woman whose FB profile is "full time mum" and another whose is "housewife". I cringe for them every time I see it.
