A middle-aged, middle-upper class
woman who generally drives an
SUV, a minivan or a station wagon (the latter of which is rarely seen in this era), and lives in a suburban area such as Parsippany, New
Jersey, my hometown. They believe that their children are the most important things in the world, and refuse to let them listen to any music other than Top 40 radio, play any violent video games, or let them watch TV without them nearby, as any of these could supposedly corrupt their fragile minds. They are generally members of the local
PTA, and have their kids participate in as many after-school programs as possible, so they could have themselves some "me"
time. They usually put soccer
ball stickers on their bumpers, tailgates, or
gas caps, and are especially notorious for popularizing the infamous "honor student" bumper stickers. Soccer moms are usually homemakers, especially if they have young children, and live of the income generated by their
well-paid husbands.
