Guest Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 DrCara - I wish I'd known you specialised in anorexia nervosa. It has been so hard trying to find information to help my daughter understand her friend's strange and apparently rude behaviour. Now the friend is in hospital and so the daily stress is removed, but it is still hard to know what to say and what not to say. Jackie - where did you work? That cannot be a fun job, not many perks! It's very interesting that there are so many nurses and quite a few teachers. They are the caring professions. Churches also usually have a high proprtion of teachers and nurses.

There are of course plenty of nice ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirl Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm a stay at home mum to my little ones at the moment but in a former life I was a software consultant. I don't think I could go back to it. I don't have a clue what to do when in 3 years time when youngest DD starts school. I wouldn't want to do full time so it doesn't give many options.

rosie Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Solicitor and partner in a local law firm. I deal mainly with property work, residential (house sales and purchases, remortgages etc ) and commercial (factory and office leases). I also cover wills and probate, especially for my property clients. As property work has been a bit quiet lately, I've taken on some matrimonial work. A few years ago I only did matrimonial work, but found it a bit depressing and I felt that I was becoming too cynical, so changed my focus. I do find the whole partnership and running my own business thing a bit stressy, especially as I have 3 children and one lovely but very messy hubby !!

jlo Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I work part time as a legal adviser in the local magistrates' court. It is quite an interesting job but it can be funwhen I walk round town and see people that I know from work. They are usually fine and will say, "a'right," to me. At which point my DD will say, "Mum, is that a friend or a criminal?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
