Gimme A Break

Many of my daughter’s classmates are working this holidays. Times are bad and this is the time of year when expenses usually run pretty high because of the festive season.

It makes sense that many parents want their teens to use their holidays to make some pocket money. In fact, many of the more enterprising kids started their job search way ahead of the holidays and are already making money as we speak.

I let my kids decide if they want to get a part-time job outside but they prefer to stay home and try to make some money online. Let’s see how far they go with that.

• work hard but won’t spend
• looking for a job?
• two kids and a job
• add another white elephant to the heap
• full of initiative
