[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 625333, member: 17269"] I just want to point out that d's difficult child is only 18....I do feel like that is a bit different than some of our older ones. MWM's rules are great, and they are the same as mine. Here is the thing though...difficult child can never live up to the rules. He always leaves or I throw him out after sometimes as little as 24 hours. Last year he made it about a month. But it just doesn't work. Just sayin'. There is a reason they aren't home right now. Which isn't to say you shouldn't try...make the rules clear, up front, absolute, and show her the door in the nicest possible manner the second she breaks one. Be sure she understands that you are not responsible for waiting till she figures out her next housing situation if things don't work with you. If she breaks the rules, she leaves. Not, if she breaks the rules then she has to start looking for somewhere else and can stay with you while she does so. That is probably what I would do in your shoes...with all the usual disclaimers!
