Ok, so the title is a little misleading. I actually don’t rent my kids out to work. That would be both illegal and wrong. But they are not unfamiliar with work. In fact, they are almost always willing to help out.
Tonight, on my way home from work I got a text that said there was a family that needed some assistance moving TONIGHT. It’s in our neighborhood, so I drove by to see if anyone was there yet. There were only a couple people there to help. So, I ran home, went in and told my wife that I had to head over and help move. Then I asked my oldest girls if they wanted to come help. I didn’t put any pressure and they said sure.
I was glad, the three of us headed to the house to help. We were there for just a few minutes when my boy showed up and asked if he could help. I was so excited, that they were willing to help.
For over an hour they worked hard moving everything out of the house and onto the truck. They didn’t complain or avoid anything they didn’t want to move. They simply worked. We didn’t even know the family we were moving.
Why do I share this, because they asked for no recognition or reward…they will probably never know I shared this information.
I love my kids…
