[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 139576, member: 2901"] Masta, You said... [i]My concern is when is it a good time to introduce rules and what sort of rules do I introduce[/i] Introduce the rules? You mean there aren't rules already in place? No matter what the maturity level or diagnosis, your daughter needs to be accountable for conforming to house standards and personal responsibilities that are clearly hers. Can you help her do a resource search? It sounds as tho she needs a parent aide or mentor; to be taught self care and parenting techniques - life skills coaching from an objective outsider. Discuss your options for "supporting" her(both as a new mom and your daughter) with your husband. Then share this information with your daughter. She needs ultra clear, firm, and consistent guidelines as to what you will provide for her and the baby [i]as well as[/i] what her responsibilities are as a parent, a daughter, and a house-mate.
