Why would it be manipulative? It's a bargain. He's not asking for something illegal.

Personally if it were my 18 year old, I would be somewhat concerned at their ability to drive for that long by themselves, in a place they had never been.

But she's working for him, and it's not an unreasonable request. Move on.

At 18? It's a couple of hours, why wouldn't she be able to do it?

I bet OP is mom of intern who got supercompetitive internship over 74 other kids and then wanted week off for unannounced vacation, which then became for health reasons, which then became doing work online from grandma's house.

I was driving all around, sometimes 2+ hours in each direction, to tutor when I was 18. Granted, I was probably more mature than OP's DD, who appears to be coddled.

He was home on Tuesday, apparently forgot paperwork he really needed by today. So yesterday, he told dd that if she drove to Philly, got him the paper work, and drove it back for him she could have the next three days off. Let it go, right? Just seems kinda manipulative.

manipulative?

She was given three days off. How is that manipulative? fun gig

Or easily taken advantage of, depending on one's point of view.

Very normal in a political campaign. My mom would have freaked out, too. I'm 37 and she still thinks it's crazy that I have to travel alone for business.

My mom would freak as well, but totally normal. Op, if you don't want your daughter to do these things, let the opportunity go to someone else.

She's a campaign intern. If anything, driving to Philly with GPS is far safer than what she'd be doing otherwise, which is canvassing strangers' doors in 90 degree heat.

Has he ever heard of one day FEDEX?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

But really, she's the mom who has posted before about her daughter working too many hours as a political intern.
