Thanks GlitterKnickersI know I realised after I posted...because the sweet girl is sooo amazing...lol x
I’m sorry, I thought that the emoji conveyed my sarcasm.
Charlie-dog you have expressed what makes me so angry about how N & M have failed their daughters when it comes to education perfectly. Not just in terms of what they lack qualification-wise, those girls have also been ‘socialised’ in a very insular fashion by a couple of deluded individuals and therefore have an unrealistic grasp on how to go about life. I find it hard to picture how they’d operate in any job in any given salary bracket.
It’s criminal. And then N & M are
It's f**king dangerous, as some people will buy it / buy into it and they have children who deserve the best, too.
Charlie-dog, sadly I have had similar experiences when interviewing some young people - I find it frustrating and heart-breaking in equal measure. I also agree with others' assessments that N would be unable to keep her gob out of the interview process. Whilst M would be sure to 'hot house' Maddie full of bullshit in advance in a last-ditch attempt to compenstate for where he's failed her. Personally, I think Maddie has enough nouse to get her through an interview - unless it involves singing. She's well practised at apologising for N and Betty will remind her that the gang signs and street slang are inappropriate. However, any kind of induction / feedback / appraisal is seriously going to challenge her.N is one of THOSE mothers who would go along with her, and take huge offence when she is told to stay outside. In my line of work this happened often with the parents of 18's. The number of youngsters totally unprepared for what a job interview entails is staggering. Even planning on how you are going to get there, managing time, being well presented and prepared. Also having a professional email address instead of something completely stupid. They are even more shocked when their online presence is researched and they are questioned it, in particular their activities, posts and photos that employers use to build up a picture of someone's character.
