My daughter is 13 years old and she is a child star. She makes more money than me so she is the bread winner of the family. We expect her to do well or we'll be financially ruined. Her dad and I are her mangers and we use her money for many things. We bought a mercedes, a mansion, and etc. Her older siblings go to her when they need money, and as a good little girl she gives it to them. Her father, siblings, and I just hate working so we stopped working and let her be the one to work. Afterall children should learn to understand the value of money and this is what we're teaching her. One time she actually had the nerve to come to me crying, saying that she didn't want to be an actress anymore and wanted to be a normal little girl as well as go back to public school. I told her that the family needs her so she can't quit also her idol Lindsay Lohan never quit and look at her now she is a star!

You are a bad parent. She is a 13 year old girl and she is the one who sapports the family YOU created? That's just bull. You and your husband need to go and get a job and sapport the family rather than making her too. If he older sisters want money tell them to go get their own job. The money the 13 year old is making should be put in a bank for her later in her life,NOT FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND TO LIVE OFF OF!!!! she works hard to get that money and if you keep taking it then she is going to be broke when she is 18. And for the Lindsay Lohan thing so what if she never quit her job but she quit being a role modle her kids when she started drinking and all this stuff she does now.
If your daughter figures out what you and your husband are doing to her with the money she can cut you both off from her. I advise you too get you and your husband's ***' off the couch and get a job rather than have your daughter sapport you and your family.
I'm sorry but you are a horrible parent.

Go back to work you child laboror! Lazy woman! She is 13! She is a child! Let her be a kid and have a normal life. And that is HER money. Stop being muchers. You are a bad parent. Get rid of your car and big house and let her live the way she wants to. As normal as can be. Oh and Lindsey Lohan is an alcoholic as is what alot of children actors and singer end up.

Yeah look at Lindsay Lohan now.. a "star" behind bars. Here's the thing with child stars... they get all that ''pressure'' of bringing in the "dough" that well.. bye-bye childhood.. "helloooo" resentment.. what do you think will be next? take a pick.. drug rehab.. AA... jail or maybe suicide??
If as an adult you don't feel you can keep a job to support your family.. then I'm sorry you are not qualified to be a parent.

People say you are a bad parent because that is how you are behaving. If your daughter wants to stop acting and have a normal life and you are forcing her to carry on then you are enforcing your own desires over her happiness, which is selfish and cruel.
If you want her to carry on working to keep the money rolling in for you, then you are only thinking of yourself, you aren't teaching her the value of money, you are teaching her that you don't value her and only value what she provides for you.
You will end up with a child who feels worthless and unloved and in all honesty, you really don't sound very lovable, just self-absorbed.
At the end of the day, money counts for very little, unless what you really want is to sit in a loveless shell of a home, alone and unloved. If you care so little for your children's feelings, then that is what you will end up with, as kids learn by example and the one you are setting is atrocious.

You arent a bad parent, but (no offense) you are lazy. Just because your child is making money, it doesnt mean that you can just quit your job. I think it's fine if you use the money that she makes for yourself. That doesnt make you a bad parent. But what if she does stop being a actress? What will you be doing financially? You and your husband quit your jobs. You might be fine now, but look ahead into the future.
I disagree with all the other posters before me....
Just a thought...

Even though she is the one making all the money you should still work.It won't be fair for her being pushed around by her family.She should enjoy acting.Would want to be acting with your parents wanting all your money?Just use your own money for necessities.I think people are right.I think you forgot the value of love.Oh,and Lindsay Lohan got arrested again. Oh,and one last thing,HIGH SCHOOL GIRL! Your a LIAR!

Are you serious? Are you for real? Are you honestly telling me that your whole family leaches of your 13 year old daughter? Are you truly mad enough to say that while you and you husband don't want to work anymore your 13 year old daughter is not able to make that choice, because you won't be inconvienenced like that?
Gee I hope that you're just a troll, because if your serious then I pity your daughter, and in a way, yourselves. Because what are you going to do when she comes of age and decides to drop all your pitiful asses to the curb? How will you and your sorry family support yourselves then?

wow can you say lazy? you & your husband needs to learn responsibility. it's not a 13 year olds place to take care of a whole family. look at lindsey she is going to jail. let the child be normal. when she turns 18 she can do it on her own. im sure she feels used by the whole family. so what are you teaching the other kids? to be lazy & use there kids to get money.

well... guess what in five years she will be 18 and she wont want to give you money anymore...dont you think she knows what you are doing....hello look at Brittany spears right now she isnt even speaking to her mother, Macaulay Culkin basically divorced his parents, usher just fired his mom as manager and didnt even invite her to his wedding and all the other child stars barely any of them have good relationships with their parents... you better be careful because if your not the day she turns 18 she wont give you another cent...understand that you daughter isnt just a paycheck and she deserves to be treated well...my advice to you and your wife is stop being her managers they have professionals for that... and just be her mom and dad she will thank you in the end

If this is even a real question, how can you, as a mother, ask why your child had the "nerve" do say she wanted to stop. If you want her to understand the value of money, why aren't your other children working?
