She was a homemaker, so yes, constantly.

Two jobs while going to school at one point.
No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different.

Yeah. We were always latchkey kids.

Yep, both my parents worked. With four kids, they kind of had to.

Until we moved to Virginia. She's still pissed that she became a homemaker, because dad walked out eventually and she was forced back into the working world in shitty customer service jobs.

She made more than my dad back when she worked when I was little.

To various degrees. She worked full time until her third kid, where she started working part time. A couple years after her fourth kid she took a part time job where she could work from home, which she did until the fourth kid went to elementary school. Then she took another part time job out of the house.

She still works both those part time jobs to this day even though it has been well over twenty years and she should absolutely retire.

Yeah.

By the time I was in 5th grade I used to catch the bus, get off at my stop and let myself in the house since neither of my parents would be home until about 4:45 or so. My brother 5 grades ahead of me would be on the HS basketball team, track, or going to his part time job so I'd just be chillin' on my own for about 2 and a half hours.

Yes, both my parents worked full time so we always had to do latchkey stuff. My dad had to stop working in the mid 90's though because he has macular degeneration and is blind in one eye and extremely poor vision in the other. By that point my brothers and I were high school age though.

she went back to school and started working again when I was about 10 or 11.

we had an uncle and a couple of aunts that lived with us for a while, though, so they usually watched us, but we were left alone when I was somewhere between 9 and 10.

She had a job as a school cafeteria worker for a short while in my early teens, but nothing before or after (aside from keeping the home, which is certainly work in itself).
The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

Single mom, so yeah, obviously.

Even when she wasn't divorced yet, she still worked.

Yes, standard for my culture. Parents worked, I was raised by grandparents.

When I was young, no. Around middle school she started going to college. Last year of high school she started working.

I, on the other hand, have an MBA, and worked full time until my first kid in my early 30s. Tried going back part time when she was about a year, but had a shitty boss that made getting out on time for daycare pickup impossible because he always decided at the last fucking minute that he needed me to stay late. My husband couldnt do pickups with that short notice. So I quit. My husbands career took off so money wise I didnt need to go back and hes fine with me being a SAHM.

She was in the airforce for 20 years. I forget exactly when she got retired, but it was in the mid-late 90s.

She worked at a hotel. We could even occasionally come to the swimming pool there.

yeah, my dad forced her to work for him as his assistant in his unlicensed handyman business, where she would do a lot of the work because he has a lot of health issues and there is a lot of stuff he has trouble doing, and also he sucks at painting unless it's rolling on a flat surface, so she would do most of the painting, especially the cutting in and trim.

meanwhile he expected her to come home and do everything to take care of him and the house and us kids, cooking and cleaning, etc., never lifting a single finger himself to help out in any of that, even though she put it just as much work if not more than he did. and even when they weren't doing the handyman work anymore, he refused to allow her to get any other, normal job, working for anyone but him, because that would mean giving up total control over her, which he was not going to let happen.
Sad, are you close to your dad though?
