[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop signing your kids up for all of these activities. It’s overkill and it makes you all grumpy and tired. Go to work and do your job and stop acting like divas. [/quote] Nowadays It’s harder to meet friends if you aren’t in some kind of activities. I live on a block of 40 kids and you can’t schedule a single one of them to play, they all have multiple activities.[/quote] That's just an UMC thing. Come on over to the MC where kids might do one activity but that's it. My kids have chores, jobs, etc. They meet plenty of people at school, summer jobs, in the neighborhood, etc. [/quote] 8-15 years can work? I would encourage babysitting or cat sitting around age 14, that still leaves a few years you need to plan their social schedule. A lot of town sports teams are pretty affordable like $120 for the semester.[/quote] I had a paper route at age 12 and walked neighbors dog in middle of day after school while she worked. Kids should be working starting at 12. [/quote] ok so what about 8-12?[/quote] Actually the paper route at 12 was first job on the books with working papers and paycheck. My first job was at 5 myself and 7 year old brother has a shoe shine business. We set up outside and Irish Bar in NYC after happy hour to do “free shoeshines” and drunk business guys in suits always tipped well. Sadly I aged out by 7 and onto grocery bag helping and dog walking till got working papers at 12. I also did car washing and briefly worked for a Fence selling stolen stuff at a flea market. He did not steal it but people sell home the stuff cheap and he resell. Mainly Hubcaps and Car Rims. That I left quickly, [/quote]
