Do you understand what "manipulative" means? That it implies something underhanded went on, or that she was induced unfairly or on false pretenses without full knowledge of the true facts, somehow that he used his personality instead of the facts to get her to go. How was that the case?

Can't things be emailed or faxed? Maybe they're worried about Wikileaks?

I think Mom needs to go over this guy's head. I would call Obama.

She elected to take the internship, right? Great resume-builder, great for making connections, etc. This dude didn't have time to get the papers. Big deal! She spent a day of "work" driving and listening to the radio. Who cares? This is such a non-issue/first world problem.

He was home on Tuesday, apparently forgot paperwork he really needed by today. So yesterday, he told dd that if she drove to Philly, got him the paper work, and drove it back for him she could have the next three days off. Let it go, right? Just seems kinda manipulative.
What is the alternative? Please tell me you are not considering calling your daughter's boss.

OP, you must have a difficult life if this non-issue is getting you worked up.

Manipulative would have been her convincing you to go to Philly for her. Manipulative, but impressive.

If he was old, probably not.
If he needed it today then that did not help.
If he needed it the "next day" then OP's super smart kid could have figured that out, paid for FEDEX and gone to the pool.

Boss probably wanted her out of the way.
