Children makea good source of cheap labor making your weekends much less labor intensive.
Once they hit the age of 5 they can do rudementary labor like sanding, painting and light lifting
when they hit 7 lawn mowing, unsupervised car washing and clearing snow are realistic.
when they hit 10 its the bonus years. Light construction, full house painting, heavy lifting, tree removal are all possible.
at 12 to 15 they hit their stride, dry walling, garage construction and extremely heavy lifting are all part of developing a childs "Character"
Remember minimum wage does not apply to family members
Some key phrases to remember
Get me a beer son
My T.V. my shows
My house my rules
And the all encompassing, in my day
