Mom was a housewife; Dad was an accountant. They taught me a lot about the value of working hard.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother raised three kids on her own, so I was taught that to be a working mom was a good thing.
I think that I was raised by two of the best people ever. My mother and father are just the definition of hard work, like what hard work brings to you. They've taught me and my brothers and sisters to set your goals high and to give everything to reach them.
My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.
I grew up in a household that was a labor household. My dad was a Teamster and a milk truck driver. My mother was a secretary. Neither of them got through high school. But they worked hard and they gave me very, very important opportunities to go to school, get a good education.
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.
My mother was a housewife. My father was a garment worker.
I come from a working-class family, and I've been working since I was 13, from babysitting to blueberry picking to factory work to bookstore work. And of course, being a mother and homemaker, the hardest work of all.
My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
My dad was an autoworker, my mom was a clerk. Until I was thirty-five, I never made more than fifteen thousand dollars a year.
My mom was a working woman. She made more money than my dad. Both my parents worked. And this was in the '60s.
