Kids should work for their allowance because it allows them to really value hard work, and that not everything in life can be given by mommy and daddy. My mom and dad also disciplined me by grounding and spanking,and i turned out okay. They made me work when I wanted something, and they weren't all libtard about it. They made me realize alot of things about life, and i think that kids have grown dependant on mom and dad, and when they go into the real world, they are not ready for what it has in store for them.
