[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 651002, member: 8831"] I worked a full 40 in HS (eons ago-I also walked to work, probably uphill both ways lol), but i'm not technically a difficult child, and I had the early school shift so I was out at 1:30, worked until 9 a few days a week and typically 8-12 hours on sat and sun. I don't recall having the crazy homework that kids have today--I think I managed to get most stuff done in study hall. I did however have a tough time getting up in the morning since school started pretty early--I was late to school a time or ten which could have been an issue, I had said study hall 1st period so it worked out. but I managed. I can absolutely say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the second I wasn't able to manage my parents would have stepped right in and probably made me greatly reduce hours or quit completely. they would have had zero tolerance for crankiness or anything else that affected day to day life and the money would have been completely irrelevant in their mind. so basically, in my opinion, if you the parents[I] feel[/I] this is a problem, it probably *IS*. (the split shift thing would annoy me the mom to no end!). I might talk to him and suggest that money isn't everything--it cant buy health, so he will need to learn the lesson of balance eventually anyway-no time like the present! but congrats to him--he sounds like a great kid who you should be enormously proud of ;-) [/QUOTE]
