FULL-TIME MOM / STAY-AT-HOME DAD
専業主婦/専業主夫
- A full-time mom is a mother whose main job is taking care of her family and doing housework.
A stay-at-home dad is a man who stays home to take care of his children and do housework while his wife works. We also use the expressions stay-at-home mom and stay-at-home parent.
Be Careful! The expressions full-time mom or stay-at-home mom are often used instead of “housewife”. - full-time mom とは、家族の世話をしたり、家事をしたりするのを主な役割とする母親、つまり、専業主婦のことです。
stay-at-home dad は、妻が働いている間、家にいて、子どもの世話をしたり、家事をしたりする男性のことです。同じような意味で、stay-at-home mom 、stay-at-home parent という表現もあります。
注意:最近では、housewife(主婦)の代わりに full-time mom や stay-at-home mom を使うことが多くなっています。
- I love being a full-time mom. I can't think of a more important, satisfying job.
- a: Are you a housewife?
b: Well, I prefer to call myself a full-time mom. - I'm a stay-at-home dad and a freelance writer. My wife teaches full-time at the university.
- Among the over 5 million stay-at-home parents in the United States, nearly 100,000 are men.
Make your weekend extraordinary!
