Being their son arguably makes it worse.

“No one considered Dexter in all of this. They prosecute us as parents for supporting our child to become someone with skills.”
There’s a shaved ice vendor we’re buddies with at the flea market. Their kid is a teen, so young I couldn’t tell he was a boy, maybe 14. He keeps all the profit, which is meager, for his college fund. Kid is motivated and hustles. What an awful thing to teach a child!

In this current climate its only fair they fine them.
The job should have been tendered out so that all children could have applied.
Not a single leaflet in a school, not a newsagents posting, nothing.
Sheer Nepotism!

I hope employing him ticked enough boxes for the DEI regulations as well
