So it boils down to the fact that I guess I am ok with being "other." In reality, we SAHMs (really just "we moms") cover so many of those categories, there wouldn't be room to select just one--Photographer, Music, Educator, Finance, Manufacturing (homemade playdough and the sorts...c'mon), Medical, etc. I get paid everyday with hugs, kisses, smiles, and laughs (ok, and a few tantrums along the way), but that’s what you expected me to say, right?

Now I'm just a stay at home wife/grandmother so I'm still in the other category. Do these companies think that only people in the fields they have listed are the only ones that buy their products or are they the only fields that they care to market to? You could do like I've chosen to do, just pick one that it totally way off base just to skew their results. That's what they get for being nosy idiots as far as I'm concerned.
