This is almost getting funny.
My son is now 14. He's a straight A student, very respectful young man, works for our business part time and loves hanging out with his parents. I was a stay at home mom. But he went to preschool for a couple of hours a couple of times a week - Oh my! When he started kindergarten I still didn't work outside the home? What happens to the title then for those who don't think you should be called a SAHM unless you spend every minute with your child? Does it get stripped away? Is that a Part time SAHM? I still don't work out side the home. I run my business from our home office. Hmmmmm....wonder what title that should be.....

How about we just call ourselves moms. I think adding the "stay at home" "work at home" or "work away from home" prefix is stupid and was just added so that competition between mothers would ensue
I could give a damn if you (in general) are a stay at home mom or a working mom. What should matter is that you do what is best for you and your family- and even then- it isn't any of my business (unless of course you are actually harming your child)
