Daughter's boss had her drive to PA

You can choose to be someone your daughter can talk to. She tells you things, you sympathize. That's what friend do. Start being that person. Don't be the person who thinks they need to solve other people's problems. Adults need to stop-up for themselves, learn their own tolerance for situations, come to their own conclusions.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

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

Oh, but thank you for the appreciative BAHAHAHAHA. I thought it was rather clever but apparently no one else read that thread.

I think you're clever

Np

Sounds awesome to me.

OP, was your daughter even complaining to you when she mentioned this? Or are you the only one who was bothered by it? It sounds like a good deal to me.

OP, you have posted muitiple times about your daughter's internship. You need to back off and let your daughter do her job. She doesn't need you hovering.

Good heavens - this is what one does at 18 on a political campaign. Doesn't matter about title -- they do all the scutwork.

Manipulative? I do not think that word means what you think it means. Now, if he had her do the drive just so he could get her out of the office and suggest a nooner, THAT would be manipulative.

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.

1. Your daughter's boss requested she drive to PA and obtain the papers. From your post it seems like a REQUEST not a DEMAND.

2. To compensate her your daughter's boss was willing to give her THREE DAYS off? What is wrong with that? Also, she's a fellow in a political campaign, what do you expect? There are people who will drive two hours A DAY to be part of a political organization.

How is it manipulative OP? She could say no and leave it at that. If she wants to give a reason, she could give any number of them. She has plans for after work, etc. I'd love to spend a few hours on the road just to get a few days in a row off. Not easy to come by in a campaign.
