Well... As of right now, I have not filed for disability. The intake nurse the other day (nurse practitioner) actually said that he feels I should be able to apply for it. When that day comes I would like to think that I will know exactly how to deal with that situation.

I am a caregiver currently... so that is my current answer.
But like others have said.... if you have kids... your a stay at home mom. If you broke your computer and are trying to fix it you have become an IT specialist. If you now have a Dish Network DVR and dont know how to work it, become a television technician.

When we are kids we want to be an Astronaut, Ballerina. We grow up with visions of flying to the moon, of dancing at Julliard. While we never may BECOME that Astronaut or Ballerina, those moments are still within us.

Just tell them... You want to be a Fireman when you grow up. This will more than likely make them laugh being that they see us as grown up... and it becomes a great way to steer the conversation into a direction YOU choose. Conversation Manipulation is a great skill to learn.

Me, I wanna be a Fisherman when I grow up

Our LIfe is a Job, Whether we get paid for it or not is a different matter.
