My idiot teens were the same way: “I’m not going to work for a lousy $5 an hour!”

I’d make them put out there EMPTY palms and ask them if they see any MONEY in either. Get your butt to work, ya bum!

I can just imagine the kinds of salaries today’s crop of dorks are demanding. I’ll bet they still have empty palms too, LOL!

P.S. All grew up to be functioning members of society and NONE of them returned to live in my basement. As if I’d let them in the first place. ;)

I had many issues with my father, but the old man DID instill a serious work ethic in me.

My wife and I had 3 children; all 3 finished 4 year college programs in 4 years, and none of them moved back in with us. Also 2 Masters degrees and 1 PHD in Material Sciences.

Looking back, it seems like the crowning achievement in child raising. Just not enough grandchildren for grandma, only 4.

You’d be surprised at how many think that a six figure salary is “minimum wage” to them, and that’s just for showing up.
