[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 83994, member: 1514"] Ok my two cents and they arent worth that probably. She is under age...tell her drinking is against the law. You wont condone it but if its that or drive drunk or ride with a drunk, call. Id rather have her alive than dead. Drugs will be reported to the cops. Curfew is a biggie. She is female. I may be more lenient with a boy but she isnt. Since she isnt working, she really needs to be home at a decent hour on week nights. There is nothing she needs to do after 11 that she cant do before 11. Even boarding houses have rules. Weekends I might extend the curfew to 1 on friday and saturday nights. I would make sure she knows she is responsible for cleaning up after herself now. She has certain days to do her laundry. Give her two days a week. That is plenty of time to build up good sized loads. Do charge her a fair rent, include her portion of insurance, cell phone, food, electric...etc. Now...you can put all but her car insurance aside in a little account that you dont tell her about named "move out money" to be given to her when she finally leaves the nest in a mature fashion. Make sure you talk about if she is allowed to have people over when you are home...or not home. Phone privileges...how late? Cooking, snacking....whats off limits. Think of what problems were in the past. [/QUOTE]
