[quote=Anonymous]The goal is teaching her responsibility, a work ethic, keeping her busy and money — all of it. Also, giving her exposure to different people and different kinds of work. Right now, she doesn’t have a clue what she’d like to study in college or what she’d like to do for a job in life. I realize she’s young for that, but she’s not going to figure that out by laying around surfing social media or hanging out at the mall all summer. She isn’t scared of working and wants to work — this isn’t something we’re forcing on her. Frankly, I don’t want to pay her for chores — that’s part of being in a family and doing your part. She has gotten paid for extras but it isn’t the same and it isn’t enough. She needs to start learning how the world works. [/quote]
