What would you do if your child worked for you and had a cruddy entitled attitude?

My mother’s solution was to fire me for the summer.
I thought she was joking. Then when I realized it and headed home she told me to clean my room before she got there and it was to be spotless, “seeing that I wasn’t busy at work”. When I didn’t do that she grounded me. Guess what lesson learned. Work your ass off and do your job it doesn’t matter if you’ve got family/friends in high places. Why aren’t more parents like that?

i was adopted, I don’t regret any time spend with a woman who cares about me enough to take me in as a preteen and knock me down a few pegs. I had a lot of attitude that needed redirected, but she stuck with me She busted my ass More than once, pissed me off, but she is an amazing mom❤️. One day I’ll own that restaurant.

absolutely! I still have a lot to learn. She runs stuff like Ramsey so it’s learn or loose your head. But you get amazing lessons, and great skill.
