What's this?

I didn't get money for good grades in school


My parents allowed me the privilege to mow grass, take care of trash, take care of our 2 dogs, wash dishes 3 times a week, learn to do my own laundry, learn how to cook basic meals all while playing 3 sports during school and summer baseball. Also they allowed me to work weekends and summers to save for college from age 14 on up.

I guess they would be charged with child abuse now.

I wouldn't change a thing.
