Often it is not money as much as the fact the family will subtly oppose any
chance of the kids working really hard. A lot of parents seem to think their
kids are destined to do some high paying intellectual work and will frown at
them doing menial tasks for a quick buck.

They won't admit it this way, of course. But there is this silent disapproval
from some parents when the kid is found looking for some quick buck when he
should be trying to get his Laws degree or something.

Then parents also try to interfere. If the kid is found selling lemonade for
half a dollar the glass, they will get angry because a kid as special as them
should be selling it at 5 bucks.

And yes, parents giving kids too much money is an issue, but kids who have been
educated to look up at entepreneurs and such are more likely to get the money
and invest it in something rather than turn it into vodka. At least that is my
observation.
