Spending money and gas for cars were HUGE motivating factors for my kids to get jobs!!!
If you keep handing them $$$, what reason do they have to go get a job???

thats my point - it is too difficult for ex to be on board if it involves depriving any of them.

I have the opposite issue. My DS19 has a car that his mother gave him when he was 17 because she got tired of driving him to school. He could not take the bus because she decided to move out of the school district. She was mad at me for not paying for some of the car which she did not ask or discuss with me.
Now the Summer is half over and he just got a job that his mother found for him. He was not motivated to look because 1) she yells and pushes for him to look, 2) he has a car, 3) he has his own money (from last year's job plus money she has given him in the account).
She has sole custody and he lives with her. She is mad at him for not being motivated to look for a job (DUH) and wanted me to get on his case to do so. Of course she sets a great example of being effectively retired since DS19 was born.
So how does my DS19 learns the value of work? Guess I just pray.
