Ok, bad parent.[/quote]

Couldn’t disagree with you more.  Part of being in a family involves helping out, it’s no different than vacuuming or helping clean out the garage.  I might cut the teen some slack in terms of his other chores that week if he/she is babysitting, but I am not going to feel obligated to pay.  The teen is getting babysitting experience that can be used for a paying job, and knows that the help is appreciated.  And it’s not like it’s every Saturday night.  But the idea that a teen should be paid for helping out the parents from time to time to me is just ridiculous.[/quote]

np. ita. I think DCUM is so weird with this idea that kids should never be expected to contribute to the family. [/quote]

But they go off to college clueless. Unable to even care for themselves, let alone others. [/quote]
