[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I paid a teenage kid in our hood $60 to do our driveway. I sat inside and cuddled with my DH and watched a movie and drank coffee. We work a TON and it was a great 2 hours of time. And the kid was psyched to get 60 bucks for 2 hours of work.

Everyone wins. everyone is happy. yay.

(and yes, his mom sent out the email to coordinate his jobs. And I dont give a damn. and in 2 years when my son would be old enough to shovel and make some extra cash, no way in hell is he going around knocking on random strangers doors. Thats just not safe today. No way in HELL.)[/quote]

Why didn't you make your kid  shovel the snow?  You paid someone $60 and let your kid off the hook?  My kids shovel the snow. Ages 4, 8, and 10. Then they built forts and caves. [/quote]

Not the person you asked, but I didn't make my kids shovel the snow because they are 6 and 8. They can't do as good a job of shoveling (or finishing the job) as two boys twice their age.[/quote]

Because her son is 2yrs away from earning money for a job. He is not little. Moms coddle coddle coddle and then complain when their kids are whiny.  [/quote]
