Moral Dilemma

[merledogs]

I think your daughter in her desperation to get out of where she is now would probably take a job that isn't necessarily her ideal job, whereas for you it is your ideal job and you would probably be a lot more enthusiastic and likely stick with the job longer. Who knows, she might do it for a while, then decide she doesn't like it and if something more up her street comes along, she'd be off.

 

I agree with others, talk to your daughter and explain to her that you really want that particular job

Thanks for advice i'll sit down and talk to her. Must say if she got the job over me it wouldnt matter even though i'd obviously be disappointed but i wouldnt resent her for it. I think theres going to be a lot of applications for this job so the odds of either of us getting it are slim. You're right Murtle she needs to learn to become less selfish, shes quite a stroopy bugger at times, shes like her father in that sense, as long as shes ok nothing else matters.

Just one thought...although basically I agree with the majority that you should apply and tell her you have...have you been in this shop, or even looked in the window? I only ask because if the staff are mainly young (by young I mean under thirty), then they are more likely to take on someone of a similar age to themselves. If they are older, you have more chance than she does. Good luck, both with telling her and the application!

Its a new shop that will be opening up so its still in the process of being set up etc so theres not a chance to mooch around, shame really because i'd rather do that first
