My girls seem to have so much homework and as they progress thru school they are taking on voluntary jobs on youth forums, getting involved with DofE etc. All good stuff for encouraging resilience, empathy and so on. I work all week and out of school and work hours we want to spend time together. The teens seem to go so quickly, they have all there lifves to work. You and your daughter have made the right decision - health first every time. Little, local jobs with flexibility are much better.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022450298057511144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-24027053185180602302015-10-14T22:24:31.073+01:002015-10-14T22:24:31.073+01:00Everyone has different levels of being able to cop...Everyone has different levels of being able to cope. Am so glad you didn't let YFG continue at a place that obviously wasn't right for her. My two both worked at T****s and they were treated dreadfully by folk that should have known better. However that was like a red rag to a couple of Bull's, they have now both moved on to better jobs (much to the relief of T****s!!) and both boys say it was a learning curve!!! Thank goodness we can usually gauge when our children need a bit of Motherly intervention!!!!

So good you have sorted out the issues for YFG, it just wasn't to be & not worth being ill & stressed over, something more suitable will turn up I'm sure.

How about babysitting, dog walking, pet sitting and feeding people's chickens, ducks etc while they're away on holiday. It's surprising how much money can be earned doing these jobs.

I think she is reluctant to tell some family members here as she is afraid that they will be dismissive about how badly it affected her and make comments to the effect that she should have pushed herself through it, but I saw first hand how bad it was and there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that she needed to stop - and the doctor agreed with me.

She is so lucky to have a caring, loving mum who recognised what the problem was. As a teen, I worked Friday evenings, all day Saturdays and every day during every school holiday. I also often babysat on Saturday evenings. All was well from the age of 14 until 17, probably due to the pressure of exams and other things going on. I suddenly fell very ill with suspected glandular fever during the summer holidays. I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks. After that, it was straight back to work, where I was on my feet all day doing quite manual work. I was never ever the same again, continually exhausted and unwell. I still had important school exams to sit and I begged my mum to allow me to give up work but I wasn't allowed to, and my health continued to get worse. I also messed up my exams. Well done you xxSusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-73652357892551382182015-10-14T08:10:49.154+01:002015-10-14T08:10:49.154+01:00Work is important, but your health is even more im...Work is important, but your health is even more important.
