[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 83969, member: 3647"] I would spend some time with husband before she gets home and decide with him what you guys feel is fair. It is YOUR (plural, the two of you) house. I would include a curfew or a phone call by a reasonable hour; that is very fair. A call if not coming home for dinner. She is responsible for her own room, laundry, etc. Up to you if groceries is included in that or not. Other household chores should be discussed. Every person in the house should pull their own weight. She gets X time to get a job. You may say no going out until she is working. She pays X for rent. Certainly you can put it into an account for her (don't tell her) to give her when she is ready to move out. You can choose for her to pay towards the insurance or pay all of it. If she is using your car, she should definitely keep gas in it. Again, your house. You can make the conditions. You want her to be in counseling? Make it a condition. She doesn't go, she's out. Drinking and drugging. Very scary, very important, especially after her "I'm an alcoholic" stint. Make a rule. No drinking. No drugs. She's not old enough to drink. If she comes home under the influence, she is out. If you suspect it, test her. If she brings it in the house, call the cops. It is your home and you have the right to keep it as you choose. On a side note, think long and hard about this. Her pg scare is over. Her dad is enjoying having her there, and just bought her a bedroom set. She got a job there. Is there a hurry to bring her home?
