'It's not like this impacted him in any way': Teen loses job after parent schedules non-negotiable vacation time for him
For some reason, this parent thinks that their son's first job isn't important at all. A first job is a big deal, though, and clearly this person's kid thought so too.
In a post to r/AmItheA**hole, a parent called u/Educational_Gur_2679 asked if they were really in the wrong for a situation with their kid and his job. Like many teens, this 16-year-old got a part-time lifeguarding gig. And additionally, he's located in Florida, so that's a job that will be available year round.
The teen asked for some time off to take a family vacation, but his boss denied it. The reasons don't seem personal, but he hadn't been there long enough to have earned time off yet. The OP took personal offense to that anyway. They insisted their son still go on the vacation, which left him fuming. Check out the story below to see whose side you're on… although commenters were clearly against the OP.

In the comments, the OP found no love for their rather harsh parenting style.
