At what age should a child get receive their own personal assistant? (parents, children)

[flamingo_pink]

I was just wondering at what age a child should be expected to receive their own personal assistant?

I worked in a summer program this summer and one of the kids already thought she should be getting her own personal assistant soon and she was only 9 years old.

I thought that is a bit young, but could understand her viewpoint if she was in high school.

What do others think?

When a child picks the winning lottery numbers and mom/dad cash the ticket. Not a day before that.

You can't possibly think that anyone here is going to think this is a serious post.

Personal assistant for what?

I thought school started yesterday, what the hades are they waiting for, get those kids back in school and off the computer for a while.

Personal assistants are for children with disabilities.

Therefore, a child of any age can have a personal assistant if their physical and/or mental needs require one.

Or maybe she was mimicking her mom, who has a personal assistant at work. Kids say the funniest things. Try not to take offense at what comes out of a child's mouth, that's my advice.

About 80 years of age if she can afford it!

I wasn't offended, but I'm not dismissing it as a one-time comment with her because she's said similar things in the past, such as bragging about where she's going on vacation, claiming that if I haven't been to said vacation spot that I must have a birth defect, and said that she only associates with high class kids at camp like herself.

According to her, if you don't have a personal assistant, your family has clearly failed at life.

Kids are born with them. Life coaches, cooks, chauffeurs, and social planners rolled into one, actually. They're called "parents."
