My KID drove one of my plow trucks 25 straight hrs this past storm and 39 hrs the storm before.
His younger brother shoveled for plenty of hrs while we were out in the plow trucks.
Parents are as much to blame for lazy kids today as the kid.

My son is entitled to my foot in his ass if he isn't out shoveling the older neighbors we have!

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Don't even get me going... My son went off and pulled a 30 hour shift shoveling a commercial site with two of his buddies. But he had blown me off earlier in the week. He lives at his mother's, so I can't always reach out to "touch someone." Pisses me the ef off.... Tough love is coming. Gonna let him learn from the school of hard knocks. In the past I have hired other kids who would throw two shovels of snow in between checking their I Phone..... Fortunately I got a real good 20 yo kid who knows how to work, knows to leave his phone in the truck while we are out working, was available and ready to go early. Is an apprentice electrician, so he appreciated the storm and roof pay.

A few years ago my mother-in-law and step father-in-law, both octogenarians, lived a few houses away from his granddaughter and great grandson who was about 14 years old at the time. My brother-in-law and I would routinely shovel them out, but sometimes it was a problem. We asked the kid if he would be able to shovel the one car length driveway and the walkway. His response in front of his mother was to ask , "How much?"
Mom didn't say anything. The kid would have been duly compensated. End of story - he never shoveled, and Mom missed a valuable teaching opportunity.
