I'll be the first to call uncle - it's January 9th and I haven't even thought about it.

A 13 year old??


Yes, troubleshoot network and application issues on PC and MAC. DH taught him how to do that at the age of ten. My neighbor is a Fed and she convinces one of the gov contractors to hire my son.


Don’t you need to be 14 for a work permit?

Two speciality camps, swim team, summer school for a mandatory class so they don't have to take it during the school year.

Babysitting, of course. Too young for a retail job.

Camps, jobs, volunteering?

We have swim team and 1 week of travel planned. Possible she’ll do 1 week of art camp and she could volunteer coach on our swim team. But not much else in terms of structured stuff. Wondering what is common and reasonable for this age. Last time I had a 13 year old it was Covid and no one was doing anything.
