Quote From: purplepenny"what about a government that doesn't allow our youth to work and help support the family" If you have to have your kids work to support the family then MAYBE you don't have enough money to be poppin' kids out!
Kids can get jobs at 14,15 and 16 years old...before that they can do things like mow lawns and shovel snow and babysit. This is enough work for kids to learn about work ethic. What beyond this are you suggesting?
I grew up very poor, but not once did my parents ever take the money I earned to pay for anything, that money was mine!
What does this person mean, the government won't let them work? Good excuse. I went to every house on my block that had older kids. I needed someone to mow the lawn. Guess what? They all said, "no."
Kids have to learn work ethics somewhere. They might as well start with yard work and go up from there, not try to get a job as a store manager.
As for kids helping themselves, more kids should be expected to help buy their school clothes and maybe we would have less selfishness and materialism among the young people.
