Glad to hear that you have your son working at this age. I had two
paper routes when I was twelve and washed dishes at Waffle King when I
was forteen. I think its never too early to teach responsibility.
Good to hear that there are still places that people will trust
strangers to use their vehicles.


Both of my kids work, and have since they could understand the concept. My
son is the pool boy at the hotel, cleans the parking lots, mows the lawn at
home, has many other chores, and is in honors classes. My daughter, three
years younger, is the "gardener" at the hotel, has chores, and is also in
honors classes.

They both also have to save 50% of everything they earn -- and they earn a
TON of money, for kids their age. It's astounding what they accomplish
compared with their peers -- most of whom have everything handed to them.

I think you should be turned in for child abuse! How can you ever
expect your children to survive in our welfare society with this sort of
preparation? :-)
