[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639622, member: 1550"] Read my lips: STOP BABYING HER!!! Why won't she be able to handle it? I talked to a young man at work today (yes, I am working the weekend). He is 17 and still in high school and works after school and every other weekend. In a way, he is a difficult child. He is in an alternative school. I don't know why. Why is your daughter unable to handle the hours? She is 18, not 8. Honestly, I say this lovingly, but I can see why she is has such an entitled attitude. She has never been treated her age. Let her grow up, hon. Stop advising her what to do. She will take the easy way out. If she knows you think she works too hard, which is in my opinion ridiculous since she has nothing else going on, she will quit because she knows you approve of it. And what will she spend her hours doing? And where will she live when you leave if sh e has no job? by the way, perhaps you were afraid of talking to your boss, but not everyone is. I sure am not. I don't see why you daughter should be. I think it is way too early for her talk to him anyway. Calm, calm, calm. Yes, she is your daughter, No, she is not performing slave labor. She is doing what many, many teens do. In fact quite a portion both go to college full time and work part-time and some also do sports and other activities. They do not crack up. It makes them stronger, more capable young adults, ready for t he future. Take a bubble bath and a book and put on some nice music :) Indulge yourself. Do something really nice for you :) [/QUOTE]
