A SAHM is a mom who stays at home, taking care of kids, also known as a "homemaker." You will likely see SAHM on social media or in parenting forums.
For example, your sister may post "The life of a SAHM" on Instagram with pictures and videos documenting the chaos of raising multiple kids full-time. Or, your wife may text you, "Sorry to bother you at work, but I'm so bored by the other SAHMs here. I needed a respite."
There are several other variations of the SAHM acronym that refer to different types of working or stay-at-home moms and dads. Examples include WAHM, SAHD, and WAHD.
