[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's 17, not 6. [b] My parents didn't know this much about my duties and co-workers when I was 17.[/b]  Let her deal with it.  She can feel out the situation, talk to somebody, be bored, or find a new job if she's that unhappy. 
Sounds like a good gig for her age- maybe she can find things to do herself and be noticed.  Maybe she can give feedback about why she deserves more responsibility.  [/quote]

You never talked to your parents about work, and never asked for advice or guidance?  I thought most kids did.   It's ridiculous to let that resource of experience go to waste, IMO.[/quote]

LOL, right.  My parents were wonderful folks - they could offer big pic advice, but they never held professional jobs.  They were always grateful when I had work and always fretted when I didn't.  While there were times I wished they were able to do so, I also grew up fast, was self-reliant from an early age, and adjusted to the work world much more quickly than my more affluent classmates - some still trying to find themselves after 20 years....[/quote]
