[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 91152, member: 3626"] She's 18. She's freeloading. She's eating her cake and having it, too. You need to give her some serious options -- if she won't pay rent, etc., she needs to find a new place to live. If paying minimal rent and paying for gas gives her an excuse to not buy a car, why is that your problem? If she won't contribute to at least that much, she can find another way to work. If she loses her job because of no transportation, give her one month to find a new job. If no job by then, again, show her the door. Yes, telling your child who is not prepared to survive in this world to leave is an incredibly hard thing to do. I know, I did it. It was also the best thing I did for my daughter. She's home now but is much more responsible, looking towards her future. You don't have to expect perfection, just someone who is growing. She's not doing that right now. [/QUOTE]
