Depends how much you trust your child. Many would be fine being home alone for 2 weeks, provided they have neighbors/ family friends to call on. Especially so if they were going to work everyday. If you kid isn't mature, well, that is boarding on illegal.

It's not about trust, I trust her completely, it's others I don't. She's also very upset at the thought of not being able to come, as I've said she's only just turned 17 whether she's mature enough or responsible enough is irrelevant I don't like the idea of her being alone in a house for 2 weeks

I totally agree with Torry Quine - I cant believe you think a 17 year old cant be left on her own. I bet she'll have a whale of a time with mum and dad away.

I never once said she was irresponsible, but I feel 2 weeks of being home alone is too long. the holiday is 400 miles away, all I asked in this forum was if she had any rights as a new employee, and I've received parenting skills and a English lesson,

New or old employee you have no rights to take any holiday when you want to - sorry to say

She really should have said at the interview or when it was offered to her.

Then if you cannot get her accommodated somewhere which you are happy about, either you give up the holiday, or she gives up the job.

I second what Torry says, especially she could have been let loose at uni in a years time. if you put boundaries in place and have someone nearby that she can turn to if theres any problems she should be ok

Forgot to say that whole family is coming with us, as its my birthday whilst on holiday, so there will b no family members here, as for neighbour I wouldn't trust her with my cat

You didn't like the answers about her 'rights' re her pre-booked holiday though or totally ignored what people said.

If you mean the comments that ask why she can't be left on her own, that naturally follows the question as if she can't get the time then surely the holiday will continue without her? I ask again, when is the holiday?

At 17 she's an adult. She has a job. You are still in this country and only 400 miles away. Talk to her on the phone each day...get a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on her, and I am sure she will love her first toe dip in the water of adulthood.

Sounds like you can't trust your daughter with your cat.

Could she get a friend to stay with her?

Of course I don't like the answers as they are telling me I have to make a choice, it doesn't mean I'm ignoring them, as most of the forums are about her being left alone, I was answering those. The holiday is in Sept
