[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 658906, member: 18516"] It sounds like she's asserting her "I'm an adult now" card. I think this is pretty normal, unpleasant but normal. You may need to re-establish house rules. Our kids get it in their heads that the bedroom they occupy is "theirs" She needs to be reminded that while it's true she is now an adult but with that comes responsibility. If she doesn't want to help with household chores then perhaps it's time she pay some rent. Doesn't have to be a lot, say $25 a week. Sit down with her and show her what your household expenses are, let her know that nothing in life is free. Now is the time to set some clear boundaries with her. They turn "18" and wanted to be treated like an adult even if they don't act like one. Part of being an adult is facing responsibilities. Wishing you all the best!! [/QUOTE]
