Wenjie typed thus: [nq:1]What is the meaning of "mother with many hats"[/nq] "hats" is a way of saying "roles". If you are a policeman, a train driver, a pilot and a miner, you would wear a different hat for each job. So: "I have many hats" means "I do many different jobs".

- By extension, it applies to roles and responsibilities as well as jobs.
- The phrase is either indicating that the mother has many different roles (nurse, chauffeur, cook, teacher), or that this person is a mother who has many other jobs (but I can't tell which from the phrase on its own).
