Kids wanna be rock stars, not ruddy window cleaners.
And what if their mates see them? Rolly eyes!
-
he's not worried about the mates seeing him,wheres the rolely eyes? why aren't they back?for james he can earn more in a morning than a weeks paper round-just an issue getting out of bed-unless the monies right,maybe i'm too soft tried kicking ass over half term,can't cope with the hours i do
-
Just lazy. Had a 6 day a week paper round and would put the mags in the Sunday papers for 2 quid at five in the morning THEN do my round! Not even that long ago....

if i offered that to my youngest he would jump at it, I would also get all during my sleep pattern "dad is it time yet" every 2 mins throughout the night. Bless him

my son wants cash up front before hes intrested .
-
I remember the days when i would stay out partying all night . And get picked up outside the club at 7 am to go straight to work and get changed in van and do a full days work .
Thoughs were the days could' nt do it now though getting to old . Mike

My kids always want to come out with me to work my oldest is 13 next year and she will be in charge of leaflets ;D ;D
I have always hammered it home to them that if they want nice things they need to work hard for them.
