Re: my money or hers
As long as you're a minor, your parents are entitled to receive the full value of your services. If they wish to hire you out to someone else and keep all the money for themselves, they're entitled to do that, too. The law presumes that the parents have a right to the child's labor and the proceeds. So be grateful she's letting you keep some of the money.
