Most people pay high school babysitters $15/hour.

So does this mean my future teenagers are not going to get scheduled for any significant hours once they start working their first part time jobs?

They are still young and have a few years left until they are working age but this makes me wonder.


No, it doesn't.

Also, if I were you, I would focus on my more immediate worries, but that's me.

Their hours are about to get cut drastically. From 40 to 20.
No, they won’t. Quit being Chicken Little.


If I were a business owner 20 hours for part timers max. I would cut my staff in half too.

Simple answer: they should have thought about that BEFORE screwing and having a baby. I don't feel sorry for "couples" like that.


also they shouldn't live in one of the most expensive areas of the country either

just having a high school education is not going to cut it here. Move somewhere cheaper


Not to worry, you can't live here even if two people making $-5 an hour pool their resources. Not even close.
You are all idiots.
Idiots that don't live here.

Raking leaves, Lawn mowing, babysitting, snow shoveling, house sitting............. Most of the other teen jobs of yesteryear have gone away anyway.

Teens will never work again. Who's gonna pay a teen 15 bucks an hour? That's 30 grand a year.

Montgomery County just approved a $15 an hour minimum wage.
So does this mean my future teenagers are not going to get scheduled for any significant hours once they start working their first part time jobs?

They are still young and have a few years left until they are working age but this makes me wonder.
