<p>wow, the simplest questions are stumbling me over.</p>
<p>Should I just leave blank for the occupation?
or put housewife.</p>
<p>Put Homemaker.</p>
<p>I would leave it blank. I just assume that occupation means that there is some kind of monetary gain involved. But I could be wrong.</p>
<p>im sure theyll assume she is a stay at home if you right 'none' or 'n/a'</p>
<p>no they put none or N/A for zombies , but if she's a housewife, "homemaker" is what you should put</p>
<p>or let her decide what to put. I made my mother do the parent part, since I had no idea what to put for college years and all of that.</p>
<p>If you put none or n/a they might assume she isn't there -- that you are separated from your mother by divorce or something and have little contact.</p>
<p>the online common app has a menu option for housewife or homemaker... something like that. so they probably want something there.</p>
<p>Ask her what she considers her occupation to be, if any.</p>
<p>Also, if "housewife" or "homemaker" seems too old-fashioned, "stay-at-home mom" is an option.</p>
<p>put "homemaker"</p>
<p>my mom said to put "domestic engineer"</p>
<p>I put "homemaker" for my mom.</p>
<p>The answer is homemaker. It's not really something where multiple opinions are warranted.</p>
