Yes,another rant from Grandsport!

We taught our 3 kids responsibility at an early age. When they were old enough, they got jobs so that they didn't have to be coming to Mom and Dad for spending money. They knew it wasn't going to be there. They learned pretty quickly how fast a week's pay can disappear. Better to learn it at 14 as 35. Making life easy and bailing kids out backfires just about every time. I've seen it far to often. That's not to say that we never help our kids. We help when we feel it is appropriate and it has worked well for us.
