The 'Stay at Home' mine field

I have been a working parent, and am now a stay at home parent.  I am fortunate that I can do this and I enjoy it.  I like spending the time with my kids and having a well run house, and I like not feeling like I am juggling all the time without really keeping anyone happy, which was how I felt when working.  However what I don't like is all the attitude and angst that comes from others regarding my choice.  The frequently asked question about when I will go back to work.  (I am working, I just don't get paid).  The implication that I must be bored.  (I am not bored, my household and parenting responsibilities alone keep me busy, but I also do volunteer work for my community.  So NOT bored.)  And then there is the conversation killed moment: "So what do you do"  "I'm a stay at home parent", followed by the questioner looking alarmed and desperately trying to find someone else to talk to.  Ok so lets aim for utopia: I won't ask working parents when they plan to stop work, and they can stop asking me when I plan to start!  I AM doing something worthwhile, I'm not judging those who choose to work, because that is cool too, but just ask them not to put a negative spin on my choice.  Truce!!!!
