[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teens need to have jobs or be otherwise occupied in some kind of constructive manner.  If their job allows them to sleep until 1pm, great for them.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Because I believe there is value in teenagers having a job.  Mine needs a job to earn spending money.  And yes some teens go to some sleepaway camps and are highly committed to pursuing interests along with having a job.

Not a fan of teens who never work.  If your kid has a summer free, get a job is my opinion.  YMMV.[/quote]

You didn’t answer the question.  You just said teens should have a job in different words.  What value do you think there is in teens having a job and why is it more valuable than teens having independence and learning to make their own decisions?  Or just, you know, more valuable than gettin more sleep?

I’d bet my house that you have no clue why you hold this opinion.  You don’t seem like the thinking type.[/quote]

Let me guess.  Your kids show their independence and decision-making skills on teen "service trips".[/quote]
