[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 682108, member: 19522"] I do not think you are being unreasonable at all, Lovemyson. I agree with the others, your house, your rules. Your daughters comments sprung up that word in my head "entitlement". Some of our kids, rather than being grateful for the help given, start to feel entitled, and push the limits and boundaries to express that. Your daughter is fortunate to have her own room and bathroom in a big house. Rents out there are crazy in my neck of the woods......... This is your house. Your rules. Exactly. Hopefully she will understand and turn this around to being thankful for your help. It is good that she came to you and expressed her thoughts. Open communication is key. Keep setting the boundaries and follow through. Once kids start taking advantage and take things for granted it just seems to snowball. (I have been smacked by some big snowballs). I think enforcing those rules is the hardest, but most important thing in all of this. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
