[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just say no. Your neighbor will move onto her next victim. She's not thinking about this as much as you are!

My daughter is 14, and no, she's not doing that sort of job. She has occasional pet-sitting and dog-walking gigs. My 19 year old son has a teaching assistant summer job and an internship. At 14 he wasn't working.

None of this needs to happen. [b]Let your child enjoy her summer off. Goodness knows they work them hard in high school.[/b][/quote]LMAO!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

So your kids not in the 12 APs and demanding extra-curriculars crowd. Mine are. I want them to relax in the summer. I never had a job as a teen, and I'm a multimillionaire today, without family wealth. I have never understood DCUM's odd fixation of foisting work on children. If they WANT to work, fine. But if they don't, why? They'll have to spent the best decades of their lives working.

You can get into a great college without washing dishes and baking all summer.

I think there is a divide between people who worked menial jobs and those who didn't. For instance, op is horrified at the idea of washing dishes. When she eats out, grown men do that job for less than $200 a day for her, yet it is beneath her child. She never learned to respect that, and it sounds like you have not either. It's a lack of knowledge about the world and a lack of empathy no amount of money can fix.[/quote] +1000[/quote]
