[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a couple of ways this could have played out. It could be that the girl was asked casually to wipe down a shelf or throw out some leftovers or something like other posters have posited, sure. It could be entitled and dramatic.

But there is also the possibility of a power dynamic at play where an adult who is a friend of the teen's mom used her leverage to pressure the girl into doing tasks she was not prepared to do...and frankly if that's what happened, it's icky. OP, you've gotten good advice here about ensuring your daughter sets boundaries and learns when they are not being respected. [/quote]

This happened to my teen and it was indeed icky. She was 13 and thou she had to do what an Adult asked her. I did not think it was cute or appropriate but I did see it as a learning experience for my dr. people will take advantage and once you have identified one you know to stay away. That is not the kind of job my 13 year old needed. I had no respect for that parent[/quote]
