I have "unbelievable" experience on my resume should i still put it on?
So my parents own a business and i have literally been working, literally (at least) 20 hours a week since i was 7 years old... I am 20 years old right now and I have as my job experience 1997- present 20 hrs/wk at foreverafter collectibles... any job employer may see this as a possible typo or a lie... but its actually TRUE!! should i keep it as is? or actually lie and say like 2005 - present or something more believable?? what do I do... plz any input would be great.

Place it on your resume. It is not uncommon for parents to employ their children, actually or just on paper for a tax right off. You've been blessed to have so much work experience. It is verifiable and you have other references other than your parents. This is a definite advantage.
Good luck in your endeavors.

Maybe you should put it in a section "other experience" and describe the responsibilities you had as an employee at your family business, concentrate on the tasks you've done and experience, I would not specify working for 20hours per week;
Whatever you do; PUT IT in your CV; dont omit it
