Right, so you could argue is it is a job until that point, and then probably wouldn't be considered one after. But I guess you could also argue it depends on the split.
If a person is a "homemaker" and they do all the chores, all the cooking, and take care of the children (if they're in school, that'd be handling bed and bath and all that and making lunches after etc) then it seems like it could be equivalent to a job.
I do think some of it is the stay at home person trying to validate their contribution to the family, though. Which is not a terrible thing. This isn't something I would argue with people like that.
