I am talking about teenagers from 13 upwards,, they have needs and not all their needs they can ask you. Can your 15yr old son tell you he wants to buy stuffs for his gf or take his gf to the movies. Movie ticket for 2 plus popcorn and Icee drink sef thats like over $20.

You wouldnt want your son to be depressed because he cant represent for his babe. Na you girls sef dey push these young boys.

if you know the number of cards i bought in my time. A lot of it I had to steal from my mom to buy

Errrrrmmmmm any boy that wants to impress his gf needs to get a job o!
Paper round, retail, MacDonald's name it
My son worked during his A-levels and he paid for his dates and his £120 trainers himself
None of my biz. Me sef no dey wear £120 trainers
Hope your mum caught you one day with your hand in her purse

I'm sure your husband is settling those boys by the side and not letting mommy know. Mommy shouldnt knw about GF stuff. You wan make dem snatch his first love GF because he couldnt afford movie ticket and Valentines gift? You wan ruin him rep be that

Personally I believe if you are blessed enough kids shouldnt work before the age of 18, unless its with family. Cos the money they make from the job is not comparable to what they are losing from study time and needless exposure to undesirable elements at work. Its a pesonal belief it might change in the future

My mom sure caught me when her bale of brand new notes she had prepared for party spraying were looking lean and the numbers were missing in the middle of the money wad

LOL
I do know that money changes hands between dad and son and he needs tighter "fabu's" when he comes near my side to ask for money
Mums are the hard ones
Dads are a soft target

Jobs and school can be balanced.
Mine only worked for 6 hours a week
6 hours that he could have been on the PlayStation or in bed
Most employers wont employ under 18's anyway
There are heaps of kids in retail
They all go to the same school and tend to call each other in.
It matured them and the day he didn't go to work just for the fun of it, he had to go and explain to HR

I trust that momsie gave you a hot butt that day

I support giving kids gifts and treats to encourage them but I am not sure I will allow my kids work at early stage if all things are okay. At the same time if I give my kids money I'll let them know it's not a rule to do so and that they should account for the way they use it. Yes they are accountable to the parents. It is also good to let them know they're not getting paid for a job because they're doing what they ought to do.

Ok o

How awon tear boys and tear girls

tearoses:
Madam Sambarry that woman did bad o!
make we talk true
Its bad enough in Nigeria not to talk of obodo oyibo
I can count the number of times I've entered my neighbours house
People mind their business, so no one would have checked on those kids.
So those kids could have died in the house and no one would be the wiser.

She was not in hospital
She was not at work
She was in Naija for an owambe
She could afford ticket and aso ebi but could not afford childcare
where are her priorities?
If she wasnt at the party wont the party hold?
When you have kids, they must always come first
Someone I know tragically lost her baby when she left the baby at home with her elder brother and went to vigil
Candle set fire and the place burnt down killing the baby
If an adult were to be at home, maybe the adult would have known what to do in the emergency.
A kid can only think like a kid.

This sambarry ehn

I 100% agree with Edwife on this though.

However I disagree that this is the norm even in Nigeria( I grew up in Nigeria) it is irresponsible to leave a 10/13 year old at home UNSUPERVISED for weeks on end just to party. Maybe a 16 and 13 year old ( even that sef you should have a guardian check in on them once in a while you cant just leave SOME teenagers to their own devices).The issue and why she got into trouble was not making arrangements for an adult guardian to check in on them while she was away( and away for such a flimsy reason).

At Topic, wont pay them for chores but I believe in Incentivising children for going above and beyond. I feel certain chores are just what you need to do but if you for instance spend hours helping me clear out the loft with a lot of work that you would not normally do , I believe you should be rewarded for it. I had that as a child and will do the same for my children.

Its somewhat different here
Kids work not because their parents cant afford to look after them
They all as part of their education do a weeks work based training and that gives them a taster
The work laws here are very solid and employers have to follow these laws to the letter.
Many of these kids see it as adventure and they all almost work in fashion retail in city centres and they all see each other and meet up during breaks and after work.
They also love the fact that they get good discounts on their own purchases in the shops, that's why you see them scrambling to work for footlocker, NEXT, JD etc.
I call them all kids but they are 17, 18 and above

Well I can now see it from your own angle, if the environment is safe and working will not affect them negatively I see nothing bad in it. But then I will still want to guide them while they earn and possibly encourage them to learn to save even open account for themselves. It will help them in the future. But working outside and getting paid is different from doing house chores hoping to be paid.

I would have loved to work while i was a kid too, it would have been such an adventure.

No it's not right, I'll rather allow them work or give them allowance.
