Well, then instead of expecting charity from strangers, tell your mom sell her house and move in with you. Solves her financial issues and snow shoveling problems as well. Or that doesn't suit you, does it? The teens don't have paid off houses or any houses at all.
My mother doesn’t expect charity and she won’t sell her house. She will give it to me. All $215k of it. Damn those boomers for sitting in their valuable real estate!
So if she doesn't sell her house and you get it, you should pay the $40/h for snow shoveling or whatever the going rate is in your area. $215K is certainly more than a few hundred an average teenager has. Otherwise what's your problem here? Is it you who expects charity? The whole thread is about why teens don't do free/cheap work for someone who sits in their paid off house and is "poor". Maybe your mom should give her house to the teenagers on her street and they'd be willing to shovel snow then?
You realize how little as is for some and how high food, prescriptions and utilities are? My teens not greedy. They can do it for others to be a good person. They aren’t materialistic. You know the teen in basic clothing and low priced sneakers. The one you make fun of.
DP.
The people expecting free help for this snow are greedy. Our teenage neighbor offered to help us for free, and we paid him, because it was a lot of work. It took him about 6 hours between the driveway, the side walk and the pathway to the front door.
If it were a 1 hour job, we'd accept free help. Asking a teenager to "help" you for 6 hours is being greedy.
+1. My teen broke our best shovel on the ice and passed out each day on our couch at 5 pm from the exhaustion of shoveling days. Our neighbors would never take advantage of him by asking him to work for free.
No one is asking, the good kids just do it.
Do you get paid for your work in the office or whatever you do? Yes? Are you selfish and bad? See how that sounds. Demanding free labor and making yourself some kind of victim over it, calling names, is completely ridiculous. You're not entitled to anyone's free labor. Especially from someone who is underaged, a child. Nobody is BAD, because they don't clean your sidewalk. Landscaping companies, as someone mentioned above, have contracts to deal with snow. Just like you pay for your summer grass cutting. Do you feel others should cut your grass for free? What else should they do for you for free? Not sure how someone gets so entitled that they call complete strangers bad and selfish, when they're not provided free labor! How ridiculous! I hope your actual neighbors find out what kind of person you really are (entitled and manipulative, as nobody normal would use the words you do) and will never help you with anything! I'm sure you gossip behind their backs.
