[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 82070, member: 84"] In my home when a kid turns 18 the rules change. You're no longer a kid in any sense of the word. The govt. doesn't see you that way, so neither do I. The 2 kids I have living at home know they have only 2 choices if they're to stay here. School or work full time and pay rent. I have Travis working full time and paying 50.00 a mo rent as he's saving to move out eventually. Nichole is going to college full time. I don't bug about grades, getting up on time for work or school, nor how money is spent. Their social life is their business. But if you don't follow the house rules as they apply to an adult living at home, you'll find yourself outta here fast. Not my problem if you've nowhere to go ect. New boundries need to be set once a child reaches the adult level. And it can take some getting used to for everyone. She's no longer a child. She can make her own decisions, and you can't stop her. What you CAN do is decide what behavior you will allow, and what behavior you won't allow while she's living in your home. Hugs [/QUOTE]
