<p>Unemployed.</p>

<p>yah…i know but shes techniquely not because she isnt looking for a job</p>

4

<p>I’m in the same position. I saw Homemaker listed, so that’s what I currently am using. Does anyone else have info on this?</p>

5

<p>If your mom doesn’t work then you simply write: ‘HOUSEWIFE’</p>

6

<p>“Homemaker” is probably the most appropriate choice within the dropdown menu.</p>

7

<p>Yes I am choosing “Homemaker” since my mother doesn’t work, nor she ever tried.</p>

<p>The list that Common App uses is the government’s list of occupations. Perhaps your parents have had to use a specific designation on official documents before and have a preference for how you answer.</p>
