More about "homeschool mom"
North American social, cultural and political discourse, soccer mom broadly refers to a middle-class suburban woman who spends a significant amount of her time transporting her school-age children to activities such as soccer practice and music lessons.[1] The phrase became popular during the 1996 United States presidential election campaign. The male equivalent, soccer dad, is less-used because of the prevailing American cultural tradition that emphasizes engaged motherhood over engaged fatherhood.[2][+] Post a Comment | toggle meta
