Dd is 6, and wants to be a science teacher.

It's not long ago that she wanted to be a crane driver who moonlighted as a train driver with a part-time job as a ballet dancer and a Saturday job as a zoo keeper.

DS (4) says he wants to be a rain cloud.

DD (2) says she wants to be a pink rain cloud

andfranksentthis · 29/12/2007 22:11

DD2 (11)wants to own a pet shop. She is severely allergic to guinea pigs and somewhat to cats. Doesn't want to be a vet cos she hates the idea of putting animals down.

DD1 (15) first wanted to be a paleontologist (when she was about 8 - 10), recently it changed from quantum physicist to the latest ... neuro-linguist. I had difficulty spelling that. Be a laugh if she ends up a cleaner... at least i can spell that.

At least they know. When I discovered I couldn't be a fighter pilot i gave up any interest in the grown up work business.

DD (12) wants to be a pop star atm. I hope it passes, we're getting a bit near to decision time for my liking! she has said she'd like to get married one day though, although she has said she will only marry a man that does as he's told though. Not getting married then!

DS1 has only ever said once - and he said he wanted to be a bus driver and "sit on Daddy's lap" while he drove the bus.

WendyWeber · 29/12/2007 22:16

DD1 originally wanted to be an archaeologist; then DD1 & DD2 together wanted to be hairdressers/beauty people. DS2 wanted to be a bus or train driver aged about 4. (DS1 never said!)

DD1 is training to be a teacher; DD2 to be a social worker. DS1 is going to do Politics at uni next year (I think he would like to be eg Alastair Campbell). DS2 would like to be a journo or some other kind of writer, pref funny.

ds isn't old enough yet - I recall wanting to be a ballerina, then a forensic scientist.

Are you a naturopath, Naturopath?

Judy1234 · 29/12/2007 22:37

As I've 3 at university it's a very topical issue for us. The eldest is going to be a lawyer but might go into politics later, she says.

naturopath · 29/12/2007 22:40

um, no ... (a lawyer)

SantasUnderGodzillasBumcheek · 29/12/2007 22:44

Both my DTDs have expressed enthusiam in the direction of hair styling - although Artist is a second choice

SantasUnderGodzillasBumcheek · 29/12/2007 22:45

DD3 probably wants to be a lion. She sems to growl an awful lot anyway.

OverMyDeadBody · 29/12/2007 22:51

DS is going to be a mechanic, a rubbish truck man, a butterfly and a cat. He will also have the ability to fly and will sleep on soft white clouds.

He will also be my husband
