<p>Commonapp asks for parents' occupation but my mother never worked. i mean she is a housewife. What should I write?</p>
<p>Sounds sorta 1950’s, but you should select ‘Homemaker.’</p>
<p>Lols! actually I am not from U.S.A where most of the moms work:) Thanks anyway.</p>
<p>I think housewife/homemaker is a noble vocation. </p>
<p>However, if you don’t want to use a word like that, “unemployed” is all you need to put.</p>
