[QUOTE="Josie, post: 398976, member: 1792"] I'm sure this will be controversial, but I think I would wait a few days and sit down with her again and enlist her help in return for something for her. As an example, you need a pet sitter and you would like to hire her for $ X per week. husband will be the supervisor to make sure it gets done. In an ideal world, you should not have to do this, but she is in her own difficult stage right now and you are not going to be there. Better that she feel as good as she can about the extra responsibility she will have than add to her resentment of the whole situation. You can point out to her that in a few months, she will be old enough to move out and support herself and this is a chance to see what it would be like without having to pay for most of it. And earn some extra money at the same time. Just my quick thoughts. [/QUOTE]
