[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 541391"] The others are right. She lives in YOUR house and lives completely off YOUR money so she may be chronologically an adult but has none of the responsibilities or maturity of an adult. I agree with paying for her college .... IF you can afford it and she is really going. YOU buy the groceries for the HOUSE, not for her. YOU put gas in the car FOR her. Cancel the credit card. The account is in your name so you can have her taken off the account and HER specific card cancelled. YOU control that. Do not give her any cash for any reason. I know this is going to be hard but she thinks she is in control because of her chronological age. You need to SHOW her that since she still lives under your roof, YOU are in control. She is the boss when she is on her own and supporting herself 100%. Sorry you're gong through this. some of these kids that think 18 is a magic number. [/QUOTE]
