soccer mom
Minivan-driving parent
A soccer mom is a suburban mother whose time revolves around shuttling children to activities—soccer practice being the archetypal example.
The term emerged in 1990s American politics to describe a demographic of middle-class women whose votes politicians courted.
It often carries slight condescension, implying conformity and minivan-driving domesticity: Soccer moms dominated the PTA meeting.
