Quote From: cali1962...what about a government that doesn't allow our youth to work and help support the family (child abuse?)...yet expects them to behave and be responsible adults...What are we teaching our children and parents?...beats me but it's not a good work ethic at a young age. And young parents only have this society to teach how to be a good parent...Give into the kids 'creativity'!, yeah, right,,,how creative is a 'mooch',,,very crafty too. That's why you start young w/ chores and volunteering and maybe lawn mowing, paper routes, snow shoveling. You have to teach your children responsibility. My 13 had a paper route this summer and she put half her earnings away for "the extras". When she's 15 she'll get a pt. job and start saving towards her car (which we'll match dollar for dollar). however, her "primary" job is school. I can support my children... while they are children, I wouldn't want them trying to help "support the family". Those days are thankfully over. My father quit school in the 8th grade to help support the family. That doesn't work these days.. sorry!
