Not always true.
Don't have to have a job, what kids under the legal working age limit do? not many unless you consider household chores to be a job, earning an allowance. Only 1 kid here was of legal working age over 16 and that is very limited now since most places you have to be 18 or 19 now.
My daughters friends back at the time I mentioned above, went to the mall with my mom ( grandma) and they met up at the mall. The kids didn't want my mom ( some old lady) hanging with them so my mom went to do her shopping. Later my mom got an emergency cell call from my daughter as she was being held ( the whole group was being held) because her friend stole something. Well, my mom had them view the tape to see who it was, got my daughter released and left, the other kids were on their own for their parents to arrive. I talked to my daughter and said these are not friends you want, because they will ruin your life, because all were pointing fingers at the other, so everyone was getting blamed and I told her... You get a police record it will haunt you for life. She since then left those so called friends behind, and her new friends are wonderful ! I am proud of her for what she accomplished in life both in career and social. you talk to your kids and you set their paths in the right directions, if they veer from it, you guide them as a parent. I don't see many parents today doing this. Pull your damn pants up, what are you a male prostitute? Id drill my kid and Id staple them to his ass if I had to to make a point (sarcastic again) Really, take a belt and bust their ass, either wear it or Ill bust your ass with it. I bet those pants stay up.
