Many kids grow up expecting mom and dad to provide money for them to do things with their friends. Sometimes, parents have to show them some tough love and teach their kids that they have to earn that cold, hard cash.

There are some parents who don't mind giving their kids money to do things recreationally.
Other parents think kids should earn their money to go out and do fun things, pushing their children to get a part-time job once they're old enough.
Instead of pushing them to get a job, having kids earn their money around the house is a great way to teach responsibility.
Shaketha Marion McGregor of Dublin, Georgia got sick and tired of her kids always asking for money, so she hosted a job fair.
There was a kitchen manager position, a lead housekeeper position, and a laundry supervisor position open.
That's right — like a real job.
No one gets a job out in the real world without an interview, why should this be any different?
There's nothing more important than teaching your kids about credit and how to build their own credit.
Nothing in life is handed out, therefore it's important for kids to learn that everything in life is earned.
Shaketha got so much love on social media from other moms and parents, with everyone saying how smart this idea was — some even copying it.
