I have heard of this but I have never had it! This will be one of my ventures sometime when I am away and in a restaurant.
Your daughter will learn! They all go through this and of course we worry, me included!
Thanks!

This brings to mind when my daughter was 16 and working her first job at Burger King...she left with a grumble and a frown and came home with a grumble and a frown and a few tears of frustration.
BUT, 10 years later, she would be heard saying, that working fast food was the best experience she could have had with learning how to deal with people!
Hmmmm...sausage, biscuits and gravy...I used to cook that combo for my family.

Ah the joy of kids...when mine were teenagers they would always talk on how when they turned 18 they were going to move out on their own and won't need any of their mother's or I help again...we would be lucky to see them ever again....the youngest lives with his mother still at age 22! 
He showed me... 
Kids gotta love them no matter how insane they can drive you! 
Have a good one Cookie!

Not only am I hungry now, but I just can't wait for the joys of parenting. Only fifteen more years until my little munkey gurl turns eighteen.

I blame it on the declining birth rate  Kids grow up not having to think about anything or anyone but themselves and have all the support they could possibly need ( we did our own homework without help in my day ) while being pampered more than any previous generation. You'd think that sharing a room with a sibling was some sort of unreasonable torture from the past that no kid should have to endure, the way people talk. Real life is bound to be a shock when you grow up in a bubble like that.
Does it ever end? Oh Babe, you still have the joys of furnishing her first apartment, paying for a wedding, buying baby stuff, "helping" with a downpayment on a house because heaven forbid they should live in a rental, babysitting the grandkids, helping pay for a divorce, when her car breaks down, etc., etc., etc.
Some friends of mine finally sold their house, gave each child an early inheritance then bought a boat and now travel about, visiting the kids from time to time and enjoying them without being dragged down by the never-ending demands. They have to grow up eventually right?
What I did with a relative in my care was instill a sense of responsibility and a thought for others by involving him in charity activities and managing an allowance with lots of talk about finances involved in adult life, relationships etc and he turned out fine despite other less positive influences in his life. Children's natural inclination is to be focussed on themselves and you need to make a real effort to inject some small awareness of the rest of the world into their perspective while they are young or they turn out selfish.
I don't think I've cheered you up Cookie

reminds me of a CNA I used to work with ( this was her first job).. when she saw her first paycheck she got mad and quit because they took out taxes and she hadn't given them permission to do that

My 14 started her first summer job working 8 hours a day five days a week and I thought she'd complain, but so far she'd doing great, guess it's the paycheck lol. Funny how having her own money is great incentive eh? She's not all that happy about dishing out for gas, but she understands with the price of gas these days. My girls always liked odd jobs like shoveling snow for extra cash etc. since I don't believe in allowance for cleaning the house they live in, it's the only way they can make money on their own. Well summer is almost over, seems like it went by fast, school is just around the corner. tc Lost

When my youngest son brought home his first paycheck from Burger King at age 16, he asked me, "Who is this Ficka (FICA)?". That was many years ago, and now he asks "How do you file for unemployment?". It never ends.
