I grew up in Queensland, and my dad was a tradesman and my mum an insurance agent, both self-employed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad worked all sorts of jobs when I was growing up and finally ended up as a surveyor; my mum delivers meals to old folk around where we live. We didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I had a very happy childhood.
Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.
I came from a very, very small valley in the middle of South Wales. I grew up there with my father, who's a coal miner, and my mother worked in a normal factory.
My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
I grew up in suburban New York City and London, England, where my dad was working.
My mother works in a bank, and my dad is the head of my management team and also works in finance.
My father is a retired army captain and banking software salesman, and my mother is an English teacher.
My parents were born in Norfolk and spent their early years working in the big houses of that rural English county, my mother as a cook and my father as a handyman and chauffeur.
My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They've always been really great; they just want me to be happy.
