To ask , what jobs did your parents have?

[SteveAs]

My mum is a carer

And my dad works in a garage.

Dad was a civil servant before he went into the private sector with BAE Systems

Mum was a speech and language therapist

My dad had just retired from being a policeman, and my mum was a pedi attic nurse and special needs assistant in a school before she got her disability.

Pediatric ? God damn spell check

My mum was a librarian and my dad was a printer

Mine were both hospital pharmacists

Dad was a coal miner, and Mum was a barmaid in the working mens club.

Both my parents were farmers. My father is dead now and my mother (89) has passed the farm to my brother.

My dad was a chemical engineer and my mum was a diplomat.

Chemist and factory supervisor

Teacher & engineer. You can guess which was which.

Very interesting to read the gendered natured of jobs & I don't think much had changed.

Civil Engineer
Chief Speech Therapist

My mum has been a SAHM for as long as I’ve been born (I’m 27 this year) but before that she was a taxi driver, she lives off benefits and PIP now. My dad I think is unemployed. But he’s worked at the chicken factory, other factories and did bus driving for a long time, I think he’s been a lorry driver and he often goes sailing as part of a crew on a tall ship. Not sure if he gets paid for this or not.

Mum: Teacher (Primary school deputy headteacher)
Dad: Engineer (College/Navy educated not degree)

My dad was a charge hand in a car factory. Mum did various art time jobs such as school cook, cleaner, shop assistant as well as running the house and raising 4 children.

My mum was a nurse before she retired. When we were kids, she did childminding so she could be at home as she was a single mum.

My dad was a bus driver.

Psychotherapist and lecturer.

They met in the war when they both worked in a factory making airplane engines. My mum used to be quality control on the engine bearings. Dad said she could tell by sight alone if they were accurate or not.
