I am 17 & i work in a candy store. it gets really busy during the holiday time & for the last few weeks before christmas they are open sundays. my mom told me that she will, for no reason, allow me to work both days during the weekend. i forgot about this (it was a few months ago when she told me)& i just looked at my work schedual & in a few weeks from now they have me on on saturday & sunday!!!!! i don't want to work this either, but i feel like my boss will be MAD if i tell them this, because we are SO busy during the holidays! how do i please my mom, my boss, & myself? should i work for like 1 saturday & sunday in a row but tell them i can't for the rest?!?! or what do i do??

This is of course just my opinion, and what i would do in your situation

I believe that you should try working for your boss. You made commitments, and should try to honor both, but im sure that your mother will understand and not be angry with you. You need to show your boss, that you are a reliable worker, and asking for days off doesnt show this. At least if you work both days, just think extra christmas money!

i do not celebrate christmas. also, i am not a full time employee, so i don't have to work everyday to begin with (i go to high school too). but thanks for trying to help.
