to think my stepdaughter should be pleased she has a job!

[Cuddlybunnymummy]

Am so cross with stepdaughter! (19) When I married dh I had my own business. My daughters have worked with me since leaving school and of course I offered sd the same. The job requires working evenings - that's the nature of the business. Now today she's mentioned to me that she wants to go to a gig tonight. She was scheduled to work, I'm dog tired and my girls (who would normally fill in) are also going out. So Iabu to think she should just do the job she's paid for!

Yes she is meant to work for me forever. Exactly!

My daughters will want to get married and so on and I will need madam to work here and help me.

She's just brandished the bloody shoes in front of me as well.

Totally impractical - I bloody knew it

no happy ending here

Oh, she's got more clothes than your daughters now has she. Do you do regular wardrobe inventories then? I bet she's not allowed to go to the ball now is she? What a joke.

Listen to yourself Cuddlebunny. At first I thought it was a teenage girl being stroppy and workshy. But she wasn't scheduled to work.
If I'm asked to go in to cover something at work I wil IF I can and haven't anything else planned but I'm certainly not obliged to.
Going back to your fisrt post it sounds like she is doing the job she's being paid for.

I don't see why it is a given that she should work for a family buisness. It may not suit her and it will just drag the buisness down if she resents being their.
Would you have denied your daughter training courses if they wanted to go into a different profession. If the answer is yes you are bonkers.

Got it!!

It is a joke!

Bit of a daft joke to be honest

heh - I'll bet you have a mouse problem too. Perhaps you'd better get your DSD to start you a vegetable garden so she doesn't burden you with food bills anymore. I hear pumpkins are easy to grow at this time of year.

Careful of the glass shoes on your flooring love!

It's funny you should mention pumpkins - I have them all counted and photographed so if any stock goes missing I'll know who to blame...

Sorry ladies if you're vexed with me - the whole thing just popped in to my head and I couldn't resist.

I would watch your own daughters carefully in case they start self-harming over this situation. Heels and toes particular danger areas.

I wouldn't worry - soon enough she'll meet some nice young man who'll be well off enough to indulge her and she'll be off your hands. Mark my words.

Mind you your dds'll have to step up to the mark then...

Don't quite understand this, aren't trolls supposed to be troublemakers or be funny? This is neither!

Maybe a compromise - she can go but has to be back by midnight?

Ahhh, I got completely taken in. Doh.

Cory and Titchy - duly noted

Hellbent - I'm a nice troll I think it was a little bit funny, just a little tiny bit - if only in the stupendous irony of my dreadful posting name?

Things like this really piss me off! I have better things to do with my time. Nice troll? nah just boring and annoying!

Memoo - sorry I annoyed you - it was me. What can I say - am trying to avoid the cleaning

No hard feelings?

I'm being OTT I have pmt and the baby has had me up all night. Sorry xx

Oh you poor thing. Wish there was a fairy godmother eh? Can anybody come over and take over for a bit so you can nap?

Dh is going to take them all out after lunch so I can have a rest for a few hours, he a bit like my fairy godmother today

And by the way don't blame you for avoiding the cleaning!

oh let her go, she maybe meet a prince man who will take her off your hands

memoo - glad to hear that - make sure you go to bed and take a hot water bottle with you. It will help you sleep!

VT - didn't you read my alter ego's post below - only hergirls can get married Cinders must work and be grateful

you let your dd have night off and TOLD her she had to work - sounds v v unfair. YABVVVVVU.

Poor tattered sd. I don't suppose you've any photographs that need developing do you? Only I can't see any other way of making sure her prints will come.

i think it was funny. I don't mind trolls that aren't harmful.
