Telling adult child to quit job?

[Anonymous]

What in the hell?

How is it in any way your role to tell her to quit? Your helicopter has been in the air for way too long.

OP, you have no right to take anything away from your DC that which helps your DC - whether or no tyou think it is "prestigious". Let go of that pretense, let your DC live.

My daughter has been in a job for a little over a year and a half. A whole lot what expected of her for very little pay, and the owner seems to believe that my daughter had the same level of responsibility as her. I’ve been encouraging her to quit since the spring. She’s finally decided to quit after the pressure and hours became too much. We had the dollar to bullshit ratio conversation, where I reminded her that acting as an owner should earn her more than $14/hr.

The only thing that makes me think this is a troll is that she says she is commuting 90 minutes to a cafe. That doesn't seem terribly believable. ie that would be like someone in Montgomery County getting a job at a sandwich shop in Richmond.... as opposed to the other 80 billion places closer to them. Not very believable.

The DD might not drive, so the cafe may be an hour and a half away by public transportation

+ it takes her an hour and a half to get to her job. And she’s there from 8 to 5. Shes in charge of opening the place and closing, standing in front of register, making food (sandwiches) and smoothies and being a barista, and taking deliveries. Its a solo shift everytime.
She just got hired officially yesterday and I’m thinking of using some sort of Veto right and telling her no.

I don’t want her mental health to be terrible. She is in her early twenties and said this is a job only for about a year. She just wanted to try.

Should her father and I make her stop going?

Is she an adult?

You need to but out.
