My thirteen year old son is joining the workforce today. It is a volunteer position at St. Vincent hospital. He won't earn a cent, but will earn valuable experience. He'll also get something to put on his resume for when he applies for an actual paying job. He gets to feel good about contributing to society too. He has done some volunteering before, but nothing on a weekly scheduled basis. Maybe he'll find out that his dad isn't the only demanding job boss in the world.
He gets to become very familiar with the city bus system also. It won't hurt him a bit. He did this on his own. His parents didn't push at all. Yep, I'm happy with him!

That's great!
Thanks Wulfgar. We might disagree on some things, but that thread was over the top. Those on my side of the aisle whom like to bash gays are neanderthals and I'm ashamed of such garbage. As I said there, I bet even Burns would cringe in reading that.
