[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 596794, member: 3419"] difficult child is now cutting the grass at his girlfriend's house. Her mom pays him $40. He keeps half and gives us the other half, because he owes us a lot of money. I would have liked to have kept it all, but he's the type who will quit on the spot if he doesn't see an immediate reward. The mom, T, taught him how to use the lawnmower, and does not use a bag, so he doesn't have to deal with-dumping any of it. He wears long pants, socks and shoes, because he's allergic to grass. Which is a good thing, because no matter the amt of lecturing I do about run-over toes, he surely wouldn't listen. He's actually learning what it's like to sweat in the hot sun and earn his own way. In a small way. Yaaaay! [/QUOTE]
