He's been asked to work a concert this Sunday night, lugging equipment, from noon-4:00, then again for 3 hours after the show. It will be hard work, for sure...but it pays $100! He agreed to do it, then said to me "that's SEVEN HOURS!!". I said HELLO!!! THAT'S A HUNDRED BUCKS!! If you don't want to do it, I'LL do it!" He's 14, almost 15 years old - and at his age I'd be jumping at that kind of money. I think he's too inexperienced to grasp the concept of how much people actually make. Maybe there's a slight chance he's also a tad spoiled - lol. I got my first job at 14, and by age 15 I had three jobs. Times are different now.
For his birthday, he gave me three ideas of what I could get him (I had to push and prod to get anything out of him) - an ipod or dellpod (because a dellpod is cheaper), a new $180 bat, or that new sony playstation thingy that plays music, games, movies, etc. for $200. I bid on an ipod on ebay. He's not getting the other things - he knows he's only getting one. He can put his $100 that he makes lugging band equipment toward his new bat. He's going to work for it!
I'm such a mean mom.
