My daddy is a farmer. He grows corn and soybeans and hay and raises lots of cattle. He's been farming with his brothers for over 40 years. I don't think he's ever going to retire.

My mommy is a nutrition specialist. She makes sure all the old people at old people centers get good food and the cooks aren't trying to steal or poison them or anything. She used to be a teacher.

My daddy works with computers... as to what he actually does I haven't really know since I was about 13ish...

My mommy cares for the elderly... she goes to her "clients" houses a couple times a week and she helps them with everyday chores or takes them to run errands... she used to be a bilingual secretary way back in the day before us kids ruined her life!!! :D

My daddy is Larry, and he used to be in construction, as a project manager. I think he used to be in charge of building stuff and yelling at people when they were getting behind. Now he is starting his own business doing home inspections for real estate agents. He's also rilly rilly good at giving lectures.

My mommy used to be the vice president of my grandfather's oil company. Now she's a house-mommy taking care of my brother, but since he starts school this fall , she's going to start voluntering at a hospital. Doing what, I don't know.

Them's my parents and I love 'em!!

THAT is absolutely fascinating!


mu_agd, does your daddy have a printing press in the basement? ;)

My daddy used to be a doctor. So did my mommy. Now they're retired.

My daddy used to be a strategic services consultant. He mostly worked for the government but always via a private company. He took a buyout in 2001 and now he doesn't have to work:) . This is wonderful because when I was growing up he travelled five days a week and was stressed all the time. Now he works out, goes out on the boats, works on the house, and is super-duper involved in lots of church stuff. Also sometimes he gets mad at George Bush/Dick Cheney/Rummy/Karl Rove etc. and then he gets drunk and throws things at the TV and yells at them. (only when really bad things happen like Republicans winning elections or the start of a war that my daddy doesn't agree with). The dog thinks the yelling is because he did something wrong so he goes and sits outside while my dad throws things at Republicans. It's all pretty amusing to watch.

My mommy is a yoga teacher and holistic medicine practicioner. She is also an accomplished organic cook.

This thread isn't fair to Democrats.

Many of the people posting in this thread lean to the left. Are you embarassed that you're Republican and your daddy is our garbageman?

Get this the hell out of my thread. Take it to News & Politics.

and why is that?

and honeychile, he doesn't although that would be nice. the basement just has his entertainment center thing and a few bedrooms.

My dad owns/is managing partner of a golf course and my mom is a librarian for an elementary school.
And no, I don't play golf(but I drive a mean cart) and yes, I LOVE to read!

Republicans are not garbagemen. They are sanitation engineers.

My daddy is the Director of Tax Maps, Recording, and Conveyance for the County of Summit, Ohio....do not even ask me what he does....let's just say he directs!! haha

My mommy is a nurse at a nursing home...she is the nurse manager so she does not always give direct patient care, she also supervises the nurses and nurses aides.....she has been doing that for almost thirty years and is getting ready to retire.

My daddy will retire when my younger sisters graduate from college in two years....

Sister #1 is in marketing for a medical company
Sister #2 is in college to be a biomedical engineer (1 year left)
Sister #3 is in college to become a television news anchor (2 years left)

And me....I am a Youth Employment Counselor for the County of Summit, Ohio!!!!! (At least for the time being!)


ETA: My daddy and the rest of my family are Democrats! ;)

Yay for Democrats! Me and my daddy are the Democrats of the family. :D

I was just going to offer my services!

Just to pay off a few bills, you realize... ;)
