[QUOTE="ck1, post: 139590, member: 3767"] Masta: I agree, rules should be introduced ASAP and a line you may need to learn quickly..."my house, my rules". If she doesn't like it, she can find a place to live. If you insist that she get a job to pay you rent, I would also insist that she find childcare (not you). The more she does on her own to take care of her baby, the better. Hopefully, it will help her to become more responsible and maybe lose some of those bad habits you described. I was 20 when my difficult child was born and my parents enforced a "tough love" approach which was the extreme opposite to how I was raised until then. It was very hard on me at the time but I think they did the best thing for me and my son. Please let me know if you want to hear more about my experience and how I quickly grew up but I don't want to post it here if it isn't helpful. [/QUOTE]
