By definition a soccer mom is a housewife. In fact around here being called a soccer mom is derogatory.

That would be odd, especially since a single mother would have a JOB.

i'm suprised you didn't run to wikipedia for some soccermom history.... actually the woman that first made the term famous had a PHD and ran a presidential campaign. here's a few paragraphs for you:

The term began to take on its demographic meaning in 1995 during an election for Denver city council, when Susan B. Casey ran with the slogan "A Soccer Mom for City Council".[2] Casey, who had a PhD and managed presidential election campaigns, used the slogan as way of assuring voters they could trust her to be "just like them",[4][2] The phrase addressed anxiety about women's achievements, and the stereotype that smart, accomplished women were not able to manage professional careers and still show love for their family.[4] Casey won the election with 51% of the vote.[6] denoting herself as "everyneighbor".
The term came into widespread use near the time of the 1996 Republican National Convention.[2] The first use of the term in a news article about that election appeared in the July 21, 1996 edition of The Washington Post.[7] E. J. Dionne, the article's author, quoted Alex Castellanos (at the time a senior media advisor to Bob Dole) suggesting that Bill Clinton was targeting a voting demographic whom Castellanos called the "soccer mom". The soccer mom was described in the article as "the overburdened middle income working mother who ferries her kids from soccer practice to scouts to school."[8] The article suggested that the term soccer mom was a creation of political consultants. Castellanos was later quoted in The Wall Street Journal as saying "She's the key swing consumer in the marketplace, and the key swing voter who will decide the election."[9]
