Tell me about it. These little knee high turds knock on my door and want $20 to shovel my driveway and it's a ONE car driveway! I just laugh. All it takes it two shovels full.

If so, you depended on them for money. Maybe you didn't ask for it, but they gave it to you in the form of housing.

But to answer your question, I don't work. Never had a job.

no they made me pay for my own education too

yes, I lived at home. They sheltered me, I ate at home too

from legal age I worked. Everything else, I have paid for. It made me grow up .

Exactly I paid for my own education. Anything I want I worked for it. I expect my kids to do the same exact thing.

Ha-ha, good luck! You'd probably get the laziest of 'em kids! It seems like the kids always turn out to be the opposite of the parents!

Why should I work? My dad makes a lot of money. He can afford to support me.
