My granparents owned a restaurant and on week ends I would wash dished (by hand) all day for .50 then go to candy store and by sibling treats. I was 9 years old. By 14 I could work as a waitress (for family) by then my aunt owned the restaurant. I got $1.00 an hour... Worked 7 days a week. (after school) and week-ends. I think back and could never imagine my children working that young, even at 14 not every day. How times have changed. When I was 10 the neighbor hired me to baby sit a new born.... so unreal now to think of a 10 year old baby sitting a new baby. Have a good day.
