MOM / DAD---Job Description

POSITION: Mom, Mama, Mommie, Mother/Dad, Daddy, Pops, Father

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: For 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. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys and battery operated devices. Must
always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work
throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT AND PROMOTION: Virtually 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: 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.

I am in the comic stage of parenting. My kids crack me up. My oldest (who just turned 7) was in the kitchen just now saying a friend of his at school gets a tuna fish sandwich everyday for lunch and his friend’s parents must not love him. I asked why he thinks that and he said b/c everyone picks on him because he has a stinky lunch. The funniest thing was last year about this time. A friend of my sons came over and they were playing. The friend asked if he could try on my sons Halloween costume. Andy (my son) said yes then the kid took everything off and I mean everything. I heard Andy yelling OH NO YOUR NOT PUTTING ON MY CUSTOME WITHOUT YOUR UNDERWEAR ON. THAT IS NASTY. MOM AUSTIN WANTS TO PUT MY CUSTOME ON W/O HIS UNDERWEAR. I had to run up the steps and tell the kid no. And, the kid asked why and my son said I don’t want your privates touching my costume that’s why. It was funny to see a 6 year old react this way and it reminded me of a friend’s episode. :lol:
