[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that the teen,herself, should have negotiated the week off when offered the internship, like when you get a job offer. Not that she should not take the week off at all. [/quote]

Also, why are you asking us? This is clearly a conversation your daughter needs to have with her supervisors. ASAP.[/quote]

Absolutely.  My 13 yr old is working a volunteer job this summer (summer camp staff) and was able to explain to his supervisor - when offered the job -- that he needs to be gone two weeks for a family vacation. I just don't get why this teen didn't mention a "long planned" family vacation when accepting the position.  Unless she expected the offer to be withdrawn due to missing that time and now wants to ask for it when the supervisor feels they have no option but to say yes.  It's dishonest and unprofessional (yes, even for a teenager, even for an unpaid position) and the parents should have explained to her how to handle this at the beginning of the process.[/quote]
