My 19 year old says he'll work weekends, mostly just cleaning night clubs - contract cleans - but a few times now I've got up at 5am on a Saturday and the buggar hasn't even got home from a night out. The thing is that he was bloody home when I went to bed at 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

Kids wanna be rock stars, not ruddy window cleaners.

And what if their mates see them? Rolly eyes!

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....

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.
