Could she get a friend to stay with her?

Yes probably, I think it's more me, maybe I'm not ready to leave her alone. it's a family holiday obviously I want her to be there too

I appreciate that it's disappointing, just be thankful that she's got a job in the area she wants. It's not very long till September and if there is someone else off then the employer is restricted.

Won't she get some time off in that two weeks? Could she perhaps get the train and join you for a couple of days to make the family celebration complete?

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,

You've also received the answer to your question but you just don't seem to like it.

No matter how you rephrase the question, the answer will stay the same.

I am very thankful that's she is working in the field she loves, I understand that the employer is restricted, but that doesn't stop me from being disappointed that she will not be able to come,

I really dislike the tone that some people take on these forums, Hone. Of course you're upset. Some people really do delight in others' misfortune.

To be fair - she's the one in work and would be the one to make the choice. She's 17 now; with a job and unless she can sweet talk work, bearing in mind she will have a few days leave accrued by then, she may have to just decide which is more important...the job or the holiday. That's what being an adult is all about...

I wouldn't leave a 17 year old kid alone for 2 weeks either, wouldn't entertain it, at work she is supervised, alone in the house, anything could be going on

Thank u, exactly how I feel, not that I don't trust her completely, but u never know, at least when yr home u can supervise u know there safe, anything could happen and even tho I'm only 400 miles away it would still take a few hours to get home if something did happen. Finally a voice of reason x
