These are jobs that kids used to do. They would earn some money and the dairy farmer would get the cheaper labor. Child labor laws are what they need to push be reformed, not the immigration laws.

So true. My son works at Walmart....just turned 17. He can’t even request additional hours because of laws that won’t allow it. Although there are days when he comes home after working 4 hours and acts like he is finishing a 24 hour shift....lol. I just laugh when he acts like that....oh poor you......4 whole hours of money that you get to keep for spending money.......the rest of us are lucky to keep an hour of our money for spending......kids....

Yes, kids use to work on farms. Now, kids don’t work. They go to school, play sports, music, and are addicted to their phones and computers. We have helicopter parents who won’t let poor Johnny work and go to school.

I have a girl-friend who has coddled her 18 year old son. He doesn’t drive, she is afraid he will have an accident and hurt himself. She drives him to and from college. She still does his laundry. I asked if he will be working this summer, she said no he has one class for the summer and needs to concentrate on his class. He is studying to be a video game inventor. And what does her son do in his free time, plays video games, xbox, etc non-stop.

In the winter, fall, you can’t find any kids to rake leaves, shovel the side-walk any more.
