    Well, you wouldn't would you. Surely the point of telling you that it makes you look 'a bit thick' is to educate you in how you are coming across to others. You are not the others that you are coming across to so you won't be able to see it will you?

    I don't need to be educated thanks, what I needed was some advice, which on most of the replies I received, and I thank you all for taking the time and effort to do so, I have taken on board all of what has been said (the constructive advice). What I don't understand is why people find the need to !!!!! especially about something as trivial as txt talk, maybe you have nothing better to do, no real advice to give, so instead you find something to !!!!! about, does this make you feel better, does it brighten your day, my parenting skills plus my education and English have been questioned, all because I used a few text talk symbols, really get a life, it doesn't make you look clever to !!!!! about others, it just makes you look pig headed and pathetic, if you have no constructive advice to give, don't say anything at all, keep your options to yourself. Again I thank everyone who took the time to respond with some great advice much appreciated

    The advice came on page 1 and hasn't changed... She cannot demand time off for the holiday.

    You have then chosen to argue for the next 4 pages... Your choice.

    Why would it b strange? She has only just turned 17, home alone for a few hours or a day fine but 2 weeks is a bit much, I understand u need permission from employers for holidays, but I thought they had to honour a pre booked holiday

    They only have to honour it if they agreed at interview to let her take the holiday.

    Actually I think they even have the right to change their mind if they give reasonable notice. May be wrong.

    As your daughter didn't ask for the dates at interview, the employer had no opportunity to decide one way or the other before recruiting her. So they are being fair by letting the staff off who have already booked.

    I never once said she demanded the time off, the advice was given yes but mostly went on to say it was ok to leave her at home, after that it became a slanging match, where people find the need to be insulting, if you look through most of the other threads you find this happens more than advice given, as I've said I've taken advice on board, and feel that a decision has to be made between my daughter and myself.

    hone123, I think it's time to realise your girl is now grown up and let her decide if the holiday is more important to HER than the job. Could she not travel to the holiday place on weekend in the middle of the holiday for a couple of days with the family?

    Not at all. I have a son who has just graduated. This is an apprenticeship. How much are they paying her? Some things are more important IMO.

    Google tells me it's £2.65 an hour. Woop de do!

    Two weeks in the UK with all your relatives when you're 17 - wow!

    Thankfully she did get her qualifications, she gets £106 per week which is 4 days in the salon 1 day off and day release at college, I didn't think this was too bad for her age

    So she'd be missing the first two days of college as well?

    Presumably if she'd carried on with her original plan and gone to college she'd have missed two weeks of that instead - neither's really a good start to a young person's career nor shows much supportive parenting, does it?
