my 16 yo DD1 did well at GCSEs (6 A, 2 As, 2Bs) and is now in sixth form where she is taking chemistry, physics, english and french. She has already started collecting prospectuses from uni (kings, imperial, cambridge). Problem? Aside from begin a normal annoying, stubborn teenager, she has suddenly decided she wants to be a MODEL. (Yes she is pretty but so is everyone elses DD) And I* am the person expected to take her to agency interviews, shoots, etc. (DH doesn't want anything to do with it.) I've tried to ask her to think what might happen if she did get accepted to an agency. She is in college 5 days a week from 8 till 4.30 and then comes home to relax/study/rest etc. I have DD1/2 in secondary and my DS in reception. All have busy schedules including my DH who works FT (shifts). I rely on public transport to travel to our different activities because we do not own a car. The agency where wants to register with is at least an hour away in Ilford. Am I being unfair in thinking that this type of work would not be compatible with college and family schedules? I am inclined to say 'NO end of discussion but I am trying to be understanding [hmmm] and avoid huge argument/crying scene. Maybe i can talk her into some other activity --voice lessons, ... Anyone else had a similar situation. ADVICE PLEASE.
