[QUOTE="witzend, post: 357517, member: 99"] Honestly, I would let her know that as she won't be working or going to school, her bags will be packed after graduation and she will need to move on. She won't get terribly far, and the kindness of strangers - or lack of it - will be a real wake up call. Things just go downhill when they realize that "they're adults" yet fail to realize any of the responsibilities of adulthood. Good luck, it won't be easy. Don't debate it, just state it. She'll think you're going to change your mind, but don't. When the time comes, get her some boxes and start with anything of hers that are in the common areas of your home. Remind her that she is indeed an adult who has made choices and it's time for her to figure out how to carry those choices out. [/QUOTE]
