My Mom worked in a factory when I was really young wich is where she met my father. Otherwise she had tried to get jobs cooking. My Dad was in the military and worked in the above said factory. How about your parents?

Mom stayed home with us till the divorce then she was a secretary. Dad always worked in factories and ended up retiring from a major car manufacturer. I could not do factory work, the same thing over and over, it would drive me insane!

My mom worked in a bookstore, worked as bank teller, was the assistant to a bank President, was a school principal at a small Christian school, was a recruiter for a small Christian college, and was a professor at a different small Christian college. She is currently not working because of her health. My dad worked in a bread factory, an oil refinery, was an electrician's assistant, and is a pastor. Two of the jobs I mentioned he worked at for several years while he was a pastor. Those are the only jobs I know about. I think I know about all of the jobs my mom has had, but my dad never talks about himself. He was one of 16 kids and grew up in poverty. He worked really hard at whatever he had to do, like a lot of people. But he doesn't like to talk about how he grew up, even though his family is very close.

My mom did stay home with us as long as she could. And then later when we were teens she was able to stay home a couple of years. But my dad is a pastor, and he doesn't get health insurance, so as I'm sure you know, that's something everyone needs to have if they can get it.

Hi Bunnies. My dad held a number of jobs in his life: cook, church song leader, bartender, military, and then factory worker, from which he retired years ago. My mom has been a grocery store clerk, a nanny, a sales clerk, a stay-at-home mom and work away from home mom, and finally, a nursing assistant, from which she retired years ago. Karen

my dad's an interior designer.. and my mum currently a pre-school teacher. she was in the laundry business when i was younger. But it took alot of her time from me. so for my sake, she sold her company and became a home-maker before going to work in the army (admin) and finally as a pre-school teacher.
