[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not selfish. Your kids come first. FYI, I have worked in law firms my entire adult life and there are none that have ever hired a HS intern. He wouldn't be able to do much more than make copies, scans and deliver mail to employees. No 16 yr old would be trusted to do anything related to clients, they don't know how to research properly and it's not a good investment of time to teach them just for a summer.

Nobody in your family has ANY proof that this kid doing this internship would lead to a college scholarship. And he can get into law school based on his college GPA and LSAT scores - nobody will care about his summer job in HS by that time. [/quote]

This. I dunno what it is and how he came to be offered it, but it's not a real internship. Because no lawyer wants to babysit a teenager. And this would mean very little to any college or law school, because they know that.

Maybe you can tell them the weeks that work best for you, and have another family member babysit him in a hotel or Airbnb for the rest of the time. Since they think this is sooooo important, let them share the load.[/quote]
