How have you dealt with this with your kids?
I'm a plumber, so as soon as my kids turned 13 I took them out in the field on weekends. They started at the bottom digging ditches, cleaning shit off toilets. One by one they hated it the first week. They went to mom and cried and begged her to intervene and stop dad from taking them back on weekends to work.
Finally the end of the Month came and they were required to meet with the other employees for a meeting and their checks. I remember the look on my son's face when he got his first check for $700. at 13 years of age. After that he wanted to work every single weekend. The agreement was he had to get top grades in school. The kid hardly turned on the TV and was up past midnight everyday studying.
Even our girl went through the same process. Same thing happen the first week cleaning shit off toilets. Then the end of the month came and she got her first check. 😃
They all learned the value of working hard and making your own money in this world.
