I find it challenging and awkward to ask women "what do you do ,' which is commonplace for men where it is assumed that they have, or have had a job, but trickier for women. Don't want to insult a woman who is a stay at home mom. SO my work around is to ask people, "What makes your life interesting" (but then I worry that I am putting someone on the spot). "What keeps you busy during the day is okay, but kind of boring.
