So, how important do you think a job is?

All of mine either worked, or participated in a school activity that didn’t allow for a part time job. They gained so much from both that I can’t imagine how they would have turned out without those experiences. They worked during summers once they turned 16. They held part time jobs during seasons of school where they did not participate in a sport or another activity that required at least a daily commitment.

My kids never fought me over working because without it, they would have had no spending money, no car, and only clothes they received as gifts. It’s amazing what motivation poverty provides :)
