Many kids today have no interest in working a after school job and some would put thier parents in the poorhouse or in debt because they have to have everything they see and parents buy it for them..I just don't get that?

One of the best lessons my parents taught me. I started mowing yards at age 9 for spending money on stuff I wanted.

Exactly...But how mnay kids do you see mowing the lawns? everyone has a gardener or a riding lawnmower.

I don't think kids have chores anymore...

My mother's friend has all 3 of her sons living with her ages 32, 36 and 38 none are married 2 have a good job and just recently my mother said when are you going to start charging them rent for crying out loud!
