[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What is the reason the 16 yr old doesn't already have a job?[/b] My son was 15 last summer and I told him to enjoy his last summer of laying around and not doing anything because this summer, he would have at least a part-time job. There are a million vacancies right now so it shouldn't be hard to get a job. The 14 yr old is harder since he is too young for most formal jobs. Maybe a summer class/activity would be a good idea. Offer a few suggestions and then sign him up. My DS took a coding class online last summer. He didn't love it but he did enjoy the teacher so he might sign up for another class he is teaching this summer. [/quote] Not OP, but my 16yr. old doesn't work. Not every teen works. My sister and I didn't work until we were 18. Our parents didn't force us to work at 16. We both graduated from college and had successful jobs after college. Enjoy your kids while you can! [/quote]
