Anecdotal evidence: I have a relative- a young architect- who is married to an engineer working in the Railways. She told me that her husband had a staff of 10 people who had absolutely no work to do and were therefore unofficially designated as his domestic help. She didnâ€™ t know how to gainfully employ these people at home either. On being coaxed by the husband, who was tired of having these people sitting around, she tried to keep them busy at home: one person to water the plants in the morning, one in…

Yes, I’ve always assumed the question actually meant ‘do you work in return for money’ and was designed to determine whether you were ‘just a housewife’ without offending militant feminists
I, of course, would answer ‘yes’ because I travel the world from my computer everyday.

Wow really thoughtful question. I work out of my home too but make a nice income. I wonder if that question is trying to say – do you work besides being a Mom and wife?
