[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 433720"] Very good advice from multiple people wrt not letting her come back home. It REALLY sounds like she's nowhere near ready to shape up, just wants relief from couch-surfing, prom dress (THAT really shouted what frame of mind she's in), and associated difficulties. It seems like just yesterday that you were describing the last blow-up from her. I've seen a difficult child let back home way too early, and it's always a disaster: the next time you want/need to put her out, she'll be much more resistant and the whole scene will be much more traumatic for everyone concerned. 6 weeks is nothing--just long enough to party a lot and start to run out of cash/resources, the novelty of it all, etc. I can't tell if you've already had the talk with her or not--if you did, and you nixed her return, how did she take it? Quiet maturity, or fury? I've seen my difficult child nephew masterfully "play" my sister for readmission into her house, and then go right back to the old habits and problems, but this time much more committed to resisting being put out again. It seems to go that way, from what I've read on this board, almost every time, especially if they haven't been gone for a LONG time. Nothing will have changed in just 6 weeks. [/QUOTE]
