[b]There are many people working much harder for less than $10 per hour[/b].  While your daughter is not obligated to accept that wage, she is also not entitled to be rude.  It was not "rude" of your SIL to offer $10 per hour.  Teenagers are pretty pampered and the wages have been driven up because parents buy everything for kids, so they don't feel the need to work.[/quote]

In this area, that would be illegal as of July:

So, yes, it is absolutely rude to offer someone a wage that would be not only below market rate, but also illegal, to offer a stranger. And not even *close* to the legal minimum— 33% below.   [/quote]
You're really a moron if you think people paying a teen to wash their car, watch their cat, or babysit for a couple of hours are going to worry about minimum wage laws.  As if the kids are reporting the wages in taxes?  JFC.   :roll: [/quote]

The kid who shovels my sidewalk when it snows isn’t reporting his income either, and he gets $20 for less than an hour of work, which is much easier than watching four kids. Offering him $10 would also be rude.[/quote]
