What your DCs THINK you do for a living Vs what you actually do...

Just for fun.

I asked 3yo DD what Mummy does at work: "You read magazines!"

I'm a journalist.

My son thinks daddy drives trains because he goes to work by train x

DS thinks I make magic potions as I'm a scientist and work in a lab.

misssmiley pm'd you.

DD and DS say that Daddy 'looks after the naughty boys'. He is a prison officer. We told them this to avoid the 'my daddy is IN prison' situation we could face!

Mummys work is just 'smelly' apparently. I'm pub chef and may come home a bit whiffy.

I've just asked DS1 what I do at work - "miss me and DS2!"

DD1 thinks I am in charge of her school & library - I work for a local authority miles away. All I do when she asks is 'meetings' & some writing. They get DHs job because he is a doctor.
