Sorry to make my first post a rant but I am just so angry!
My DD signed up to do a paper round at the local corner shop. After waking up at 6.00 yesterday and told- we gave it to a boy (grrrr) she was told to return today (Sunday) at the same time.
After 2 hours she returned home sad and said they refused to pay her for completing the round today because it was a "demo day" and to come back next week. OH went politely with her to the shop to find out what the situation was and they sacked her!!
I was so angry I went to the shop myself ranting and raving about the rights of the workers and employment laws (mitigation: I am 8 months pregnant and it was early). Overall though I am just so angry about what this is suppossed to teach DD about the value of work and how you can be exploited if you are young, a girl or dare to complain - AIBU?

AIBU - to think my 12yo DD has been horribly exploited?
