Correct!<br /> Daddy is in finance. Close enough (real estate development and investment.)<br /> Memma (grandma) is a kid doctor. Close enough (child psychologist).<br /> Baba (grandpa) is an old doctor. Yup.<br /> Grandma gives out cookies. Yep, even though that's against the rules.<br /> Aunt G makes clothes. Fashion designer.<br /> Aunt B is a restaurant. Not exactly.<br /> L goes to school and is nice to my teachers and friends.<br /> Baby C takes a good nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345800 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:17:00 +0000 .twist. 2345800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha no. I would bet he thinks I get wet on the train, for work. Because I got caught in a major storm, stranded on a train platform because of train delays and that's what DH told him when he asked "where's mama?" that evening. </p> <p>So, now whenever my work is mentioned all we hear is: "Mama all wet on the train!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345733 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:42:10 +0000 Truth Bombs 2345733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she has no clue what I do whatsoever. She knows daddy is "closin' deals" when he's at work because that's what he taught her. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345732 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:41:55 +0000 littlebug 2345732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He knows I work in a hospital. And he only knows that when we drive by the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345727 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:41:04 +0000 BandDmommy 2345727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea! However, he loves to grab a computer and pretend he is working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345720 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:38:43 +0000 winniebee 2345720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has no idea. He hates when I wear work clothes though because he knows it signals less time for him (I typically only work when he is at school). I've tried telling him, but explaining what a lawyer does is a little difficult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345713 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:37:06 +0000 regberadaisy 2345713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting that you asked this today. Last night we were headed downtown for an event. We passed by a lot of buildings that were under construction and she thought it was the coolest. I tried to explain to her that mommy makes the drawings for these buildings and other people build them off my drawings. She didn't really care....😜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345700 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:32:04 +0000 MrsF 2345700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She knows that I'm a nurse, and she sees nurses in her pediatrician's office. That's really different from what I do - but I don't think a 3 year old needs to know what an ICU is :silly: </p> <p>She says that I go to the hospital to "kiss owies", which makes me smile because my dad is a Dr and I used to say the same thing about his job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345697 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:31:02 +0000 Mamaof2 2345697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no - they think I fly airplanes - haha</p> <p>I support aircraft from my desk :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345693 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:30:28 +0000 Finfan 2345693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a librarian and she has been to my storytimes and other programs. She likes to help daddy find books and play librarian like mommy. </p> <p>Her dad works on a farm so she has gotten up close with the equipment and the two of them arranged to bring one of the farm's semi trucks to her preschool to show her class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345687 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:27:53 +0000 Rockies11 2345687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've taught our 2 year old the name of our occupation and where we go during the day, but she has no idea what it means. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-know-what-you-do-at-work#post-2345680 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 15:26:26 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2345680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest was asked to explain our jobs to her classmates. She said "my dad plays on the computer" and "I don't know what my mom does". HAHA</p> <p>I have been trying to tell her what I do, but since my husband and I are programmers, I haven't thought of an easy way to explain our jobs. </p>
