[quote=Anonymous]How old are her sisters and what time does their school start?  What time does your 17 year old daughter's school start?

If dropping her sisters off to school means that the older one has to get up a lot earlier than she usually would or if it means that she risks running late to her own school, maybe your daughter has a very legitimate issue.

If watching the girls after school means that your eldest can't stay late for her own after school activities/tutoring/volunteering that could be a problem.  If your daughter is having a hard time getting her homework done because her sisters are a handful, that's another problem.

Senior year is a tough year for our kids. Often times they are doing college level work in a variety of classes, they have leadership responsibilities at school, they have a whole variety of activities that they are involved in.

Talk to your daughter.  Maybe she doesn't want to drive her sisters to school because it doesn't look cool.  Maybe she doesn't want to be stuck at home with little kids every afternoon and she would rather be out shopping with her friends.  I am going to guess it runs deeper than that though.[/quote]
