Isn't it amazing how the world has changed. If a 12 year old were to work today we would be considered exploiting them and yet 20 years ago it wasn't unheard of for kids to have jobs. of course at 12 I think that the only thing kids can do is deliver papers and now I think that is more adults than kids due to the driving and stuff. at least my paper person drives, I know that. We require our kids to work around the house if they want to earn some money. Of course when my oldest was small that wasn't even an option.
