I think stay at home moms say that kind of thing, or inflate every little thing they do into occupational categories (I'm a financier, nurse, educator, psychiatrist etc) because they need to feel validated. They do not feel they are given as high a status as being employed.
It is sad, really. There is nothing wrong with being a homemaker. But there are other things to do with oneself as well.
Is it normal to be annoyed when someone claims they are employed
