"Parents"
 

PARENT- Job DescriptionThis is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, none of us would
have become parents!!!!
POSITION: Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa

JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an,
often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication
and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will
include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites
on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also,
must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from
zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from
the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face
stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize
social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be
willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :
None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without
complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that
those in your charge can ultimately surpass YOU.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required unfortunately. On-the-job
training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon
payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college
will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give
them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary
scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS:
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition
reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth
and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.

so true :grin: i loved that!

Stolen kisses, I'm not sure what is more disconcerning about this. The fact that you found it and posted it here or the fact that it is all true. lol

Mark-
What's wrong with posting it here? There are parents here- like yourself- and hey- it was funny. Dont Pixies have a sense of humor? I know I do.

I know that it's hard to believe,but when your kids grow up & have kids of
their own,it's ALL worth it! Irish :line:

good heavens! how true! i love it, and thanks for posting it! I gotta tell my friends that are parents about it! they'll get a kick out of it like i did!

I have two adorable youngsters and (geez) i want more!

I was trying to be ironic. Sorry it didn't come out that way.

Mark, perhaps we need to talk to the mods for a " hey don't shoot me I'm only being ironic" smiley.

Too right Oldfart. It would certainly help.lol
