(I think 14 is too young to buy her own-)
oh my gosh! I do too! Her mom is divorced and the girl has issues with her dad. She is very close to her mom. She is smart, and a cheerleader, she loves that. She actually loves helping out at the business (restaurant). I'd watched her when she was younger, we always ended up in the kitchen cooking. She loves to cook, but isnt allowed in the kitchen at work, so thats why she likes to come over to my house.
I think this was the way her mom was brought up. (the child is very good with her money - she told me she always uses Suave products cus theyre the cheapest but are the nicest on her hair -99C a bottle -she always shops around -)
I will say, her best subject in school is math, she went to the grocery with me one afternoon so we could get some things to cook, and she grabbed my sales slip on the way to the car and before we left the lot she found a 1.89$ mistake and said, well, I'll just talk w/ the mgr and got out and ran back in and got my money!!
I dont feel bad about her "working", because she gets to be with her mom, otherwise she'd have a babysitter after school all the time, mom works so much. And, the work isnt digging ditches, its clearing tables, filling water, ringing up sometimes, light work - I think her mom gives her money cus she feels guilty more than for work. theres an office away from everything for homework, or to have the tv or computer. sharet
