I'm a single dad, raising 3 teenagers. I don't give them an allowance, nor do I give them what "everyone else has".
I raise them, the way I was raised. Teach them to work hard, and I'll provide them with the basics: food, shelter, and clothes. They want everything else they got to go out and work for it. The world is tough out there, and I wouldn't be doing them any favors by just giving them everything they want.
My 17 yr son, finally decided he really wants to get a phone, so he's got a part time job to pay for it. I'm proud he understands that he is not entitled to this, and is taking responsibility to earn this for himself.
A lot of his friends have everything they want: phones, cars, game systems, etc. Who paid for it, though? Mom and Dad, that's who. Unfortunately, this is being more common than not.
More grown adults are living with their parents, and not getting jobs. I figure that I'll be part of the solution, than part of the problem though.
As parents it can be tough to say No to our kids, but we need to. That's my two cents at least. Thoughts?
The news said no jobs. People are better off joining reward program on the internet. I found some young people making 1200 a month by using auto play video 24/7. Since he have 30 smartphone run video 24/7. He is getting paid while he is sleeping.
I saw one young man he is making 6k a month by taking online survey and get paid to download app his tablet.
