My mum was a nurse and then went into the funeral planning business and now she's a full time carer to my stepdad.

My stepdad was a postman for 30 years and my real dad was a soldier and then worked as a chemist but I've never had anything to do with him.

Yeah my mum always says its not the dead you have to fear, its the living. She definitely had the right mindset for that type of work :laugh:

she is hoping to go back to it if she can find a suitable part time carer for my stepdad. She's also doing a part time course on the side to become a nail technician as a hobby. So I'm her guinea pig and get my nails done for free every couple of weeks :colondollar:

i hate people sometimes lol at least the dead cant argue back
nail techs can go self employed and make a fair bit if they get enough custom
lucky you!!

Mum's always been a housewife and my father was an engineer until he packed that up and took retirement.

It is, my auntie expects me to do engineering haha as it's something all Asians do but I'm more into Biomed, it's not like any of my sisters followed the Asian norms.

Aha, I guess. But our household income is pretty low atm, which I guess is a good thing as I'm off to uni :tongue:
