[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Op has a parenting question. This thread should not be about the right/wrong of unpaid summer interns. We all have plenty to say on that - let's start a new thread for that.

Here's the parenting answer then:

OP.  [b]Your daughter's poo small a no sweeter than anyone else's.[/b]  Your answer is that your daughter needs to handle this and she needs to worry about whether she will need this reference or not.  Skipping town like she intends will make her seem like she is not serious and if you are involved, like she is too immature to be trusted with real responsibility.

Paid or unpaid, this internship counts toward creating her work history.  If next summer I was asked to evaluate someone as fantastic as you claim your daughter is, but the reference from the previous year was really bland, I would hire someone with less experience (or even no experience) but with a reference that praised their curiosity and spunk.

Your call.

And no medical condition requires a family vacation.  That is just entitled b.s.
