    I once had to “explain the gap in my CV” when applying for a loan. And apparently, “I didn’t feel like working for those 6 months,” wasn’t a good enough explanation. Even though I think literally everybody personally understands the concept.

    I ended up saying that I spent the time taking care of my parents, since I did spend some of that time taking care of them.

      I hope your parents are doing well.

      Any follow up questions as to whether your parents are going to pull you away from work?

        It was part of the paperwork requested by the person who arranged my loan and there were no follow up questions.
