Thanks for your thoughts :smile:

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:

Mum keeps busy looking after my daughter while I work, if she worked I would have had to pay for child care.

Mum was a French teacher then SEN teacher.

Dad managed a team of IT-type people that worked in an office, despite knowing little about computers - and I'm ashamed to say I still don't know exactly what he did apart from eat KitKats. He graduated from Oxford in Modern Languages and occasionally travelled abroad when he was younger, so I'm now thinking... spy :wink:

Both now retired.
Father is a CEO of an international consultancy company, unfortunately hardly ever see him now due to his work :frown:
Mother is a Masters Student in Birmingham Uni studying English Discourse and Lexical something or another.
My mum's a housewife and part time student and my dad's a doctor.

Mum: secondary school lab technician, previously was in a biological science background at some labs though not sure what she did.

My mum is a primary school teacher and my dad is an engineer.
Dad has worked in the Indian catering industry all his time here, starting off as a waiter when he first moved to this country, then working his way up to a chef. Before he moved here though, he worked in Abu Dhabi as tailor (from 19-24 years old).


Mum has always been a housewife, despite Dad's low wages, and I have a fair amount of contempt for her because of that.
