[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 682817, member: 11791"] DB, your daughter isn't stupid. Sure most of us want to become self-supporting adults. But... it's not an easy road. Why would anyone choose to go down the roads we've been down, if they know what life was really like? She may be innately aware that she isn't ready for this. Or it may be fear, anxiety, other issues or challenges. But on some level, she [I]simply isn't ready for this[/I]. Lets step back one level. If she needs 12 hours of sleep - and I'm going to say she does - then, based on the time she needs to be UP in the morning, she needs to be SLEEPING twelve hours before that - so in bed 30-60 minutes before THAT. Yes, it's insane in one sense, but in reality, a responsible person looks after themselves. I realize that this becomes a hardship for YOU, because there are three of you in a very small space. For her sleep needs, she actually needs her own completely separate bedroom, with blackout curtains, and... NO access to internet. [/QUOTE]
