[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nowadays, you can't go knocking door to door. It isn't safe. I don't blame the parents for advertising on a listserv. [/quote]

plus 1. Agree.[/quote]

Maybe--maybe--alone. But I don't see why two 16-year-old boys can't go door to door safely in their own subdivision. As I posted earlier, they were all driving out of my neighborhood yesterday on their way to have fun, and they sure didn't have Mom and Dad in the car with them.[/quote]

BTW: How do you know what they were driving to do?

How do you know they weren't driving to clients outside the neighborhood? Or driving to buy salt/replace a shovel?

Don't be so hard on teens who are willing to give up a snow day to make money by doing so serious hard labor. Those people who paid for their services got really cheap labor that day.[/quote]

Because their middle-aged parents were the ones digging the old people out. Because it was discussed in the neighborhood that we had maybe one or two teens who were willing to work during this storm. That's why. Even their own parents sheepishly agreed--their kids are damn lazy.

I'm not being hard on them for working; my point is that they were not, while every other able-bodied person was. Takes a village, etc.[/quote]
Maybe some of these parents are thinking their lazy entitled kid is cute.
Heads up. It's not. In fact, it's damn pathetic.[/quote]

What's damn pathetic are adults who sit online critiquing others' parenting skills and their children.

Teenagers have always been lazy. Big deal.

Worry about raising your own damn kid and don't worry about what the neighbor's children are doing.

We're not talking about kids committing crime against the neighborhood, kids who are being promiscuous, cutting themselves, or flunking out of school.

If the worst thing these kids are doing is being "lazy" during snow, so the hell what? What has that to do with YOUR life and YOUR home? That's where YOUR focus needs to be.

Judgmental asses.[/quote]
If you don't want opinions, why do you keep coming back here?[/quote]
