I do not pay her the minimum wage. I pay her far more, but it's not a full time job.
It's amazing what a 16 y.o. son can eat. Also, there are many days when she is too ill to work. When she's "On", she's "On". But there are days of extreme nausea due to the anticancer drugs, plus other physical problems. I admire her for working hard despite these handicaps.
Obviously not elderly either.
Help him get an after school job.
I started working at 14.

The work she does for you is a great help, when someone is too sickly to work a real job but needs extra income, it is very close to impossible to find some part time work that allows them complete flexibility and easy indoor work conditions that accommodates their ups and downs yet supplies them with extra dollars, you are already greatly enhancing her life.
