[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398988, member: 1233"] As she will be 18 in a few months, why not let her take this time as a "challenge" to earn the things that will not be mandatory for you to provide once she is 18? The pet sitter idea is good (except for any animal that is "hers" - those are her responsibility or they need to be rehomed). If she and husband will be the only ones there, all she has to do is clean up after herself. husband can do his own dishes and laundry, etc... and she can do her own. How things look when you get pics or come home will show you a LOT about what you want to and are willing to provide for her once she reaches that oh-so-freeing age of 18! Tell her that you want her to be a responsible ROOMMATE while you are gone. Look up some basic roommate rules online and try those. That angle will get a LOT more cooperation usually. You might also say that if it works out well then you might keep things on that basis for quite a while. Just thoughts [/QUOTE]
