I like to think of myself as "in my right mind," and you bet your ass that my kids are going to be giving back to the household in a few years as soon as they are able. I find it bizarre that this is somehow outrageous to you.
Where I live, kids are expected to help with the home work around or before age 10. Then chores, including outdoor work, including outdoor charity work for the neighbors and the elderly, around 10-12. As soon as they can find outside work, they do, and it would be retarded for a 14, 15, 16-year-old to have control over their own finances, or for all of their income to be their own, while all their food, health, education, and shelter is still being subsidized by mom and dad.
When they're old enough to start thinking about a car, they'll pay part or hopefully most of it, if not all. If they go to post-secondary, their expenses are their problem, minus whatever we've socked away in accounts for tuition (which they've contributed to).
This is not a quinceanera pretty prince-and-princess culture. We don't raise Little Lord Fauntelroys who go away to faggot college so they can live childless adult lives in a faraway City drinking craft IPAs and boba, eating bibimbap, sitting behind a desk sending emails to other indoor cats all their lives, thus ending family lines.
Could be! Though that sounds kind of like a faggot job, probably more desk-surfing, and I should hope not. Veterinary would be nice, there's a lot of need for that around here. Folks around here don't really expect to "get" a job, they mostly make them. If I get my way, we'll build them homes after we expand the property, which we can use some of the money saved from their teenager jobs for.
I understand you're being ironic. Do you find that fun?
YES. EXACTLY. Which is why it's important to introduce incremental service and self-reliance, rather than dropping the baby bird out of the nest all at once and expecting it to make a good run of it.
It's like those adults who sneer and scoff at kids in restaurants. They want them shuttered and instructed at home, to somehow learn how to behave in public, without ever actually practicing how to behave in public. That's weirdo thinking.
Which is what I think about "oh no no never have a teenager help with the family finances heavens no, they need that money to lift their honda civics with the undercarriage lights. They'll learn how to use a checkbook when they have to pay back a two-hundred-thousand-dollar loan for their black lesbian studies degree."

And they'll buy a new home on a single income from a job they got from a firm handshake and a tucked-in shirt, I'm sure.

Everyone who downticked this is weak and gay.
Have a good day.
Yeah, just drive your sons to suicide, why not?
It's sad that you think massive fragility and helplessness is a natural state of being.
Helplessness is the default

Uh huh.
