Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And so even if nothing happens, the kid is still aware that there's a sort of hyper-awareness surrounding him. And that mother pretty much had a full time job making sure of all this.
That's the parents choice though. Some parents nod and smile and if the kid gets a bruise deal with it then. I've known both kinds.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was a kid, I had a few friends who did theatre stuff, but I think that Broadway is a different environment for kids than TV or movies. Also, none of them were the breadwinner for their families by any means -- most of the money got put into their college funds.

I saw an interview with the guy who played Theo on The Cosby Show where he said that his mother always made him come along to any meeting with the accountant or manager or anything to do with the money he was earning. He thought it was really boring at age 14, but his mother said that she didn't want him to ever say that he didn't know what happened to his money.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the parents choice though.
Some of that choice isn't in the parents' hands. It's in the contract that he's not allowed to climb trees, and it's in the contract that Person X/Office Y has to be notified if there's any injury so it can be evaluated (by a doctor and for the camera).

I just read the wiki article on SJP. I didn't realize that everyone in their family is a leftie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Brilliant candidate for plastination.
Have we learned nothing from The Thing and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He thought it was really boring at age 14, but his mother said that she didn't want him to ever say that he didn't know what happened to his money.
Did he learn nothing from that time he had to rent an apartment from Rudy with his sad high-school-dropout salary??
