[quote=Anonymous]My DD is only starting high school, but her job in life is to go to school and do well. Camp and family vacation are pretty much all that fit in her summer. When she's older, she'll probably be an unpaid intern for a business or nonprofit she's interested in. If she felt she needed money for a car or more expensive stuff than we're willing to pay, then she could go and get a job if it didn't affect school. We don't have to withhold anything for her to understand that because she sees what we do every day. DD understands that earning the same standard of living she enjoys now as an adult means going to a top college, grad school, and 60-80 hour work weeks. We set the example and that's enough. [/quote]
