My Mom changed her title about two years ago from Homemaker to
Domestic Manager. I forget where she read it.
	She does manage everything, budget, meals, laundry, banking
	(Dad gardens and fixes cars, oh and works too ;) )
She was a little dissatisfied about staying at home after
six kids grew up and moved out (last is still in college)
BUT THEN  ..Dad became allergic to everything under the sun except
grains and veggies so It Gave Her A New Raison d'Etre !!!
	And She IS Proud of What She Does.  So There, Cheryl, et al.;)
