Thread: For the Mothers here I missed

In case I didn't wish you a happy Mothers day...

POSITION: Mother

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 or turns 21. 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 &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: 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 & kisses for life if you play your cards right.


Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there!

I love that! Especially the part about wages. When my 11 year old son doesn't get his way, he flutters his eye-lashes and says "youre not nice" and I tell him, I don't get paid enough to be nice. In fact, I don't get paid at all. Moreover, I pay you, twirp! LOL!

Thank you for posting that!

Motherhood, the most under-rated, underpaid job, but it has it's rewards.

Fortunately I might find out what it's like: EW!

Not to sound conceded, but I'm going to pretend you're winking at me in your signature Angel.

OH KNOW YOU DIDN'T POST THAT PIC! LOL! I simply posted a link to save the innocent eyes from the insuing retna burn...but now you've done it!

No, unfortunately my real identity remains a mystery as that is most certainly not me!

Haven't done extensive research about this...but the site look legit: http://www.rythospital.com/ (look at the third link to the right on the page--if you can stomach it)
