My son is 13 years old and has been going to school long enough. He needs to get out and get a job and help support this household. He is already smart. He already knows how to read and write and do math. I need him to work. I am sick of having to work 9 jobs just to support him and his sisters and brothers. He is the oldest and the man of the house. It is his responsibility to take care of us. How can the state make me send my child to school?? What I do with my children is none of their business. I want my son to work not go to school. What is wrong with that??

Wait until he is 14 and then make him work.

You're kidding, right?

If you are living in America, there are such things as child-labor laws. A child cannot start work until they are 14 (in most states, I believe), must have working papers and a physical, and can only work a certain amount of set hours (between 18 and 20, I think).

School is your son's best bet for a better life, and better, higher paying job. Why don't you get a better job, and let your son have a childhood?

Oh, and have you ever heard of birth control? Don't punish your children for your stupidity. I am sure Children's Services would love to hear about you, but getting rid of some of your kids probably wouldn't bother you too much.

I think you are joking and, if not, you should be ashamed of yourself. He may be the oldest, but is certainly NOT the man of the house. He is your CHILD. When you were working all those 9 jobs, you should have bought some birth control so there wouldn't be so many brothers and sisters. Your children are not responsible for you, it is the other way around. I can't answer any more because this makes me sick.....

He can not get a job yet he is to young.
You should want what is best for your son. He was not put on this earth to work for you. You were the one that laid on your back. You should have thought about this before you had children. If you did not want the responsibility then you should have safe sex. So suck it up and send those children to school and collage and let them have a better life than you have right now. Sop being self centered and selfish.
If you can not handle the responsibility of them then they need to go to another family where they can get the love and education that they need to be successfull in life. So they will not grow up to be a whining pain in the rear that you are.

Well you've got a little delima. He cannot quit school until he is 17. And, where out of curiosity would a 13 year old be working? You do know that you cannot legally work until the age of 16.

He still is a child. Are you crazy or something? That's the way the system is set up. Just wait till he finish school and turn 18. You sound like a teen mother that doesn't want a kid.

Can I have that girls digits or email or something? :D For one you have to do more then take away his video games, truly I would just leave him in jail because that way is the only way he learns a lesson. Then when he gets sent free, take him to a brain doctor (sorry for not using the official term :P), if he shot at the teacher the is no knowing what he could do. Be carefull and good luck

No.. let him as the man of the house decide. Why not let him get married too? He should be greatful for having such a giving mom like you. Wouldn't it be nice to see the chicks leave the nes eventually...

...ok im bored now.. bye bye!

i hope your joking.. first of your son did not ask to be born. it is your responsibilty to take of, nourish and teach him how to become the best man possible. aint nobody send your *** to go have a dozen kids, i bet they all from diffirent fathers at that. you made your bed now lay in it. if it was so difficult why didnt you stop at number 1 or 2???? how did u come to the conclusion that it is his responsibility to take care of the family... where are your kids fathers??? if they aint in the picture you should have chosen better baby daddy's!! i feel bad for your 13 yr old..i'll say a prayer for him

You know why... You had those children. It's your job to support them. Not his. I guess your bubble will pop when he gets a good job and moves out and starts his own family
