SAHP stands for Stay-at-home parent, a parenting forum abbreviation.

Gender-neutral term for a parent who stays home to care for children instead of working for pay, used in forums, research, surveys and policy writing about childcare and family budgets.

Example: As a SAHP, I need more adult conversation than a toddler can provide.

Usage notes

Useful when the gender is irrelevant or the poster prefers neutral language, and common in same-sex parenting communities. Survey and research writers often use it when counting at-home caregivers. Related to SAHM (mom) and SAHD (dad).
