[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 411057, member: 11235"] My daughter pulled an almost identical stunt when she turned 18. They're so naive they think they are grownups when they turn 18. I told her she could do whatever she wanted if she paid x amount of rent and a portion of the bills, as well as her cell bill and car insurance. I wrote it out for her and showed her approximately what it would cost for her. Mind you she had a part-time job, so she was making some money. She looked at it and thought about it and decided it was better to live for free with the rules. Did she follow them all? Not always, but she did settle down a bit. She also threatened to move out with her much older boyfriend, and she did eventually. But right then she was still in school and he barely worked, so I think he told her she couldn't move in with him. [/QUOTE]
