<p>what do i write under 'occupation' in the application for my father, who doesnt work?</p>
<p>Does your mother work? In that case, you might say "stay-at-home father." If he used to work but no longer does, you might say "retired". If he is disabled, that is unable to work because of a disability, and you are looking for financial aid, then you might mention that.</p>
<p>Or, if he lost his job, but is not currently employed again, you could say "unemployed xxx" (filling in the blank with the line of work he is generally in).</p>
<p>How about "homemaker"?</p>
<p>just put a dash mark by that area or write stay-at-home-dad or something like that.</p>
