Do you work every night and every weekend? Why would you want your child to do that then?[/quote]

Probably because they need the money, PP! Not everyone can afford to send their kid to college on a free ride.

My DS had 3 jobs last summer. He worked at a day camp but he was only hired for the morning shift, which was 7 am-12 pm. He then waited on tables at a local pizza joint in the evenings/weekends. He also assisted his best friend's dad with his lawn & tree service company when he had a day free and they needed help.

His friend's dad saw he was a good worker last year and offered him a job this summer. DS is bummed to not work at the camp but his best friend's dad is paying double the camp's pay and offering 10-12 hour days guaranteed.  [/quote]

So your 15 year old is making up for your shortcomings. Got it.

Again, no 15 year old should work that much. [/quote]

Summer jobs are awesome. Most kids work hard anyway, why not get paid for it? So many kids, mine included, hustle all day with school, sports, volunteering, etc… Mine wants to make a little cash! Some kids are oriented that way, and some aren’t (yours?)[/quote]
