All the 16 year olds sleep in until 4 in the afternoon anyway, so might as well be useful at night and not bug their parents for cash every turn.
You can tell I have a 16 year old walked home at 4 in the morning from his summer job....and one that slept in (actually, he slept in until about 10 pm....but that happens when you stay up all night and not go to bed until 2 or 3 pm). He got lucky in the sense that he was a key holder for the building and had some flexibility as to when to go in.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only "jerk" parent... It's always nice to see another one out there who doesn't buy their kids the new iPhone every year...
