My mum is a carer

And my dad works in a garage.

My father was a police officer. My mother was a SAHM.

Dad - Inspector of Steel
Mam - Lecturer in FE college

DM had a greetings card/gift shop.
DF was an engineer.

Mother was SAHM and constantly bitches about working mums today and the fact that they 'should be at home with their children instead of farming them out to crèches'.
She has no idea how the real world works and doesn't realise that economically many mums have no choice but to work.
Father is a farmer.

Carer and bus driver

My dad was a mechanic, then an engineer, then a service supervisor in an engine making factory. He's still in touch with many of his old workmates.

My mum was a secretary, then a supermarket worker, now she's a secretary/ receptionist in a small company.
She's 68 but not ready to retire yet.

My mum was a teaching assistant (after 20 years of being a SAHM) and my dad was a building services engineer. They've both been retired for almost a decade.

Both teachers.

Dad was a bus driver when I was a kid then he moved down south about 16 years ago & was the manager of the meals on wheels place until last year when they made him redundant & now he's retired.

Mum was a SAHM until they divorced & she got a job doing the admin & book keeping for my stepdads business (& obviously ended up marrying him) when he passed away suddenly 10 years ago my step brother took over the business & she retired at 50.

All normal people, all have extraordinary lives in their way.

Dad was a journo, started as a cadet at 15 and retired at 65.

Mum was a hairdresser, then became a TA after staying at home with the kids for a while, and now works as a prison guard. V random

Mum trained as a teacher but as a military wife did various odd jobs. She became a civil servant after dad left the raf.

My parents were pub landlords for the majority of my childhood. My dad retired after the business went bankrupt and him and DM divorced.
DM went on to run a couple more pubs and then finished up being an assessor for he in hospitality. She is now retired but rents out a room via air BnB.
