It would be interesting to hear how you resolve your dilemma. I guess one of MY determining factors would be if the neighbors can easily afford what they are paying your kids. If you know they can, I would try not to worry about it.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of the time I offered 8 or 9 y/o Gunny the opportunity to earn money by digging up the dandelions that were growing between our back fence and a farmer's field. It was kind of a no-man's-land that was covered with them, and they kept our yard "populated" too. Soooo he started digging, and digging, and digging. I had to make him come in when it was bedtime, as I remember. He just about broke my "bank" in that one day, so I had to withdraw my offer after that. Industrious little opportunist! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509837894723271120.post-86030875967383140712009-01-21T10:02:00.000-05:002009-01-21T10:02:00.000-05:00I am glad that your neighbors are helping them lea...I am glad that your neighbors are helping them learn to work, yea, but a bit awkward! <BR/><BR/>you are GREAT neighbors helping them!!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like Denver, we dont get the side streets done either!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!Pancakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13793089180808915002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509837894723271120.post-57326736406966233682009-01-21T08:55:00.000-05:002009-01-21T08:55:00.000-05:00You are too funny!
