What do your parents/family/you do for a living?

my dad works for the post office; he actually became a postmaster a few years ago.

my mom works in the warehouse of a place that assembles car part kits

 

My mother and father met whilst working at debears [the diamond company]

My father was a clever [diamond cutting] and me mother sorted diamonds.

She left work when she had me, and didnt bother going back. My dad stayed on untill he was made redundent, at which point he bought his own jewlery shop and ran that untill he retired.

I'm a marine engineer/boatbuilder - and with that comes electrics, plumbing, gas, carpentry... everything associated with fitting a boat out. I'm the manager of the enginering "part" - boat building, servicing, repairs.

The rest of the company is boat hiring for holidays on the norfolk broads - which is run/managed by the family who own it.

 

touching story...

 

My dad is retired, my mom is supposed to be retired, but seeing as she has been working full-time since she was 16, I think she is afraid to. Kind of like lifers in prison...

 

My mom runs a carpet store and my dad runs Western Mass maintenance for the Mass Pike.

The rest of my family..ehh who cares

 

Oh how cool....All medical stuff in your family.

 

Shouldnt the thread starter also answer the original question ?

 

lol just boring stuff. My dad is a business man and my mom sells cars :tongue:

 

Its not THAT boring...

My dad is actually a lawyer, but he never worked as one. He was always in political journalism, writing for several newspapers and stuff like that. He was also a war correspondant and now he works at a radio station.
My mom doesnt work cause she doesnt want to ( ?! ).
And my sister is in college, studying journalism. She has never worked and neither have I.

 

Thats awesome about your dad, he must be VERY interesting to talk to!

 

I dont know....Probably. He used to be more interesting, now he's just old. And settled, if you know what I mean.But he did used to have an interesting life...Thats why I wanted to be a journalist as well...
Lol...We are talking about the guy that was offered a great job in Melbourne but turned it down cause at that point he was too scared to get on a plane.

 

this is my life simplified..
sleep>computer>workout>work>spendmoney>getintoxicated> all repeated for the rest of my life... lol.

 

this is mine:

sleep>computer>stressoutabouthealthyeating>work>shop>drink. And discuss moving to a penthouse in Manhatten or lazing around Rio de Janeiro with my besty. We are VERY similar you and I!

 

My dad's a millwright at a steel mill. My mom used to work at the hospital (she's a nurse) - but she hasn't worked in 2 or maybe three years. I'm a maid, student, green house grunt...and I do tile work.

 

my mother is a hamster. and my father smells of elderberrys.
im a lyricyst

 

Fascinating thread.

Both of my parents are MDs by degree, but my mom worked as a director of a bio-technological laboratory most my life while my father worked as an artist/jewelry maker... and then eventually stop working.

Right now my mama travels through art shows and sells yarnwork she does, my dad ain't working, and my stepdad is a retired businessman.

 

I guess that makes you an empty-headed animal food trough wiper...

 

or a well ripe singing hairball

my dad at 84, is dangerous, he still rewires houses using ferrets.....my mom thinks she is of scottish royal desent, my brother thinks he's a german sniper, which goes down rather well on a sunday....my sister sells good pies, and i,*coughs* out of this madhouse am...
