Scousenana -
no, that means that while we were out in the corp world you were entrusted with the awesome responsibility of raising children, forming new minds, offering nurishment and nuture, and contributing bigtime to the world by helping again with your grandchildren.

With that perspective, our jobs pale…

My first occupation is being a Mum :slight_smile:

Was a mum for a few years with part-time work in diverse areas from old folks homes to chef. Trained as a mature student after leaving school with no qualifications. Now teach Art to secondary age kids 11-16. Part-time. My real love is designing and making stained glass which I do to commission. Have a website. Not sure if I am allowed to put it here but you can google me! My first name is obvious and I live in cumbria. If you find it let me know! I also look after my 4 grandchildren as much as I can, they are aged 9 mths, 10 mths, 2 1/2 and 6 yrs. And so much fun!
