( CNN ) -- How do you get a teenager to volunteer to quit Facebook ? Apparently , with cold , hard cash . A Boston father is paying his 14-year-old daughter $ 200 to quit using the social site for almost five months , according to a post on his blog . On Tuesday , Paul Baier , a research consultant from Boston , posted an image of a `` Facebook Deactivation Agreement '' with his daughter . `` Her idea which I support fully , '' he wrote . In the signed agreement , his daughter agrees to deactivate Facebook from this past Monday until June 26 ( which , perhaps notably , would be well into summer break for most schools ) . In return , he 'll give her $ 50 in April and the remaining $ 150 in June . Baier gets access to change her password and deactivate the account . His daughter 's one-word response on the line asking what she 'll use the money for : `` Stuff . '' On the post , several people have praised or belittled the plan . One poster , in the shameless manner not unknown on the Web , called Baier an `` idiot . '' `` Why not try something called 'parenting ' . It 's more difficult than bribery but will more beneficial to your daughter in the long run , '' the person wrote . But Kent Wellington , who describes himself as a friend of Baier 's , responded . `` He 's a good guy and good parent . Regardless , there 's nothing wrong with a parent being proactive with their kids in the area of social media , '' Wellington wrote . `` I 'm sure the dialog that lead up to the agreement was as valuable as the contract . '' Baier 's daughter may be in good company . A recent report from the Pew Research Center says 61 % of Facebook users have taken a break from the site for a few weeks or more .
