[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 682101, member: 18516"] :bravo: I think you handled this very well. Your house your rules, the choice is hers to take it or leave it. I would remind her that you are paying for college and I would also remind her that you don't have to. The amount of money you have is quite frankly none of her business, that being said, I would make it clear to her that the money you have was earned by hard work not a free ride. You said she spends most nights at her boyfriends and if that's the case then you can charge her for storage instead of rent. I'm guessing that she comes home to do laundry, get clean clothes and raid the fridge. I think $200 is very reasonable. You might consider showing her the household bills, i.e. water, electric, heat, food, house payment, taxes, insurance, etc.... and show her what 1/3 of all those bills together would be. I'm guessing it would be much more than $200. [/QUOTE]
