[QUOTE="rush, post: 613048, member: 16988"] Hi all! Thanks for listening again. I think you are right enabler, I would have rented her a place, but I think I would resent it. I am currently compiling a list of house rules for her. I hope it helps things while she hopefully gains employment. I would have already sent her out the door, but in the area we live, there are no shelters. There is one about 12 miles away, but it's one that is usually full. It is at a church so no one can stay there during the day. They feed you breakfast before you leave in the morning, and if you get back in time, they will feed you dinner. Then if there is room, you can stay the night. You may have a place to sleep for one night, but be out of luck for the rest of the time. It's going to come down to her just being put out my door I am afraid. She will have to figure out on her own how to make her way. She may end up sleeping in her car, I don't know. But at this point, she seems to have the attitude that everyone owes her, like food, a roof over her head, utilities, etc. She needs to learn that you have to work for those things, no one is going to hand them to her, like I have been doing. Thanks again for the advice! I am trying everything suggested to me that is feasible for me to do. The curious thing about all this is, that I know she will do just fine on her own, keep a neat house, and be happier if she would just grow up. I have seen this in her from a young girl. When she has a job, she never misses work. Right now she just has trouble keeping a job, usually because she doesn't learn fast enough. I think eventually she will be fine, a productive self sufficient adult in society. [/QUOTE]
