Teaching Kids To Pay Up The Dad Cab

All parents know how hectic, time-consuming and frustrating driving around kids and teens can be. Especially when the apple of your eye is a socially active, extra curricular maven that's super involved in everything. In cases like these, dad generally spends his mornings and evenings carpooling & driving to schools, friends' homes, birthday parties, various youth centers, drama classes, karate, malls, science projects etc.

Fortunately, a solution has been created in order to help kids appreciate the value of their daddy's time, efforts and driving skills: The 'Dad's Cab' is a mock taxi meter that is placed on Dad's dashboard. Every time he drops off a kid at his/her destination, Dad tosses out a fare card which specifies a task, chore or favor that the child will have to return in exchange for the ride. This way children learn to appreciate their parents' time investment and discover that not everything in life is for free. When someone works for you, you have to pay for it.
