[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 685192, member: 11791"] Ummm... let's see if I have this straight. She is 20. She has graduated successfully from high school. She is attending college full time. She is holding down a part-time job. And your biggest problem with her is that she is "messy"? Personally, I think you're a bit unreasonable. Not saying that she should be able to do just whatever she wants but... At 20, I had my own bedroom and my own bathroom - lived at home to get my post-secondary education. My room was a mess. ALWAYS a mess. My bathroom got cleaned enough to be ahead of the "unsanitary" level. The car my parents gave me to drive was only slightly better. This was partly because cleaning up wasn't at the top of my priority list, and partly because, once I did school, homework, and job... there wasn't a whole lot left over, and I sure wasn't going to spend THAT small slice of time on cleaning at the expense of a bit of a social life. However... at 20, my mess was not allowed to spill over into the rest of the house. I had to respect THEIR space, and the common spaces of the house. It was a reasonable compromise. All of this is just perspective, here. There is probably more to the story. [/QUOTE]
