Anybody got a nice 17 yr old daughter,,its high time he had his first love!! I keep trying to fix him up! I think about £3.50 an hour is fair for a 14-15yr old,,I don't think they are allowed to handle heavy objects or things like bleach,,but if they are family it doesn't apply!! HA HA HA HA,,, I make my kids work hard in my shop!!! I've had teenagers before on work experience etc,,they mostly drove me crazy so I don't bother anymore. I'm not very tolerant really,,I can shout at my kids but not at anybody elses' or they'd go home crying and I'd get sued for bullying!! Am not looking forward to next year though when my son goes to uni and my daughter thinks she's having his job,,,oh my goodness there would be fireworks cos she a totally different character,,hates hard work!! Just thought,,,not long after my daughter turned 13 last year she came home from school with a permission slip to work a few hours a week,,don't know where that came from but it was just automatically issued to her at that time.
