It seems like people nowadays can’t let a minute go by without checking one social media site or another and addiction to these sites are a growing danger and concern for parents everywhere.

However, one Boston family seems to have found a quirky, yet convenient solution to this. Paul Baier agreed to give his daughter, Rachel, $200 if she took a five month hiatus from Facebook.

The father and daughter even made up a signed a contract stating that Rachel would receive $50 upon initial deactivation of her Facebook account and receive the remaining $150 in June when she would be allowed to access the site again. Rachel has even agreed to give up her Facebook password and allow her dad to change it so she cannot sneakily log in.

Fourteen-year-old Rachel actually came up with the idea to take a much shorter break from Facebook for $70, but her father made this counter offer which the two settled on. People have mixed reviews about this bizarre and interesting contract with some saying it’s an example of bad parenting and other applauding the father for his genius idea.

Would you be willing to quit Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or some other social networking site if your parents paid you? Voice your opinions on Facebook or Twitter!
