[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t really get why everyone is fixating on the “people pleaser” thing. She doesn’t always follow directions or does what she’s told, but she also tends to let people take advantage of her and walk all over her. Being a people pleaser doesn’t mean she’s perfect or that she’s suddenly going to automatically respect workplace rules; she’s always in her phone.

If anyone has leads on jobs in the DC area that are still hiring, I’m open to ideas. I’d really prefer she’s out of the house—I’m just not a fan of her lying around on my couch. If she’s with her boyfriend, that’s fine.

I haven’t taken her phone away in years because it doesn’t really help and she doesn’t respond well to that kind of consequence. She’s 18 now, turning 19 soon, so I don’t really have leverage to control her choices anymore anyway. [/quote]

I would be furious if my kid got fired like this. Were there any consequences for her.

You clearly don't understand the downfalls of being a people pleaser. You need to MAKE her stand up for herself. Wait, what am I talking about, she clearly makes the rules in your house. Eventually she will get hired for a real job and it's going to suck for the people who have to work with her.[/quote]
