  I'd say that's pretty normal too.
  I did manual labour at my family's company as a kid.
  As did several other kids I knew.
  They weren't like conveyor belt mass production companies, but it sure wasn't a farm, and it was manual labour (among other things).

  It’s socially acceptable to have your children do work for your own business but not socially acceptable to have your children do work that someone else is employing you to do for them. >
  
  It is not socially acceptable to make your child do manual labor at the factory you own You're still running the business, but its typically frowned on in society, if you do something like this, but if I saw a kid on a farm, I wouldn't think as much of it, as I would, if I saw them in a factory, which is what the whole post is about.
