[quote=Anonymous]Your DD (and you, mainly you exactly) screwed up by accepting a competitive internship when you had long standing vacation plans.  Those other 74 kids out there might have committed to the full time the internship requires.  Why is your snowflake so special that you want to pull her out for a week or a meeting or whatever your story is now?  She (and you) knew the parameters going in.  To ask for special treatment now is absurd.

And her health "problem?"  OP, you've conveniently failed to mention what it is -- probably out of fear that we all will laugh (don't worry, we are already laughing). If she needs time off, then she needs to rest and not go on a family vacation.  If a doctor says she can't go to the internship, that's one thing.  If not, she's stuck.

And she has an online following?  That's super special.  That enters into the equation how?  I hear Kim Kardashian has a large online following.  That's someone I'm sure you hope she emulates.

If she signs up for a competitive intern position, she needs to stay for the period of time she signed up for.  If she develops serious medical issues and now needs time off for medical reasons, that would be one thing.

If she is well enough to go on vacation, she's well enough to go to her position.

Bad news, though.  You seem to just be finding out the world does NOT revolve around your little snowflake.[/quote]
