meowbunny, I like the idea about the ins - it sure will save a lot of paperwork off and on again over the course of time. I will do that.
I was thinking about what items I would let her take with her. I really do not think I will let her take her bed or dresser. We only bought them about a year ago and they were not overly expensive but they did cost us some money and they are nice. I consider both of them mine, as it's my house and I'd like all the rooms to be furnished. I would let her take the futon in her sister's room since no one uses it or sleeps in it anyway. I've wanted to get a new bed for that room anyhow. She could find a dresser at a yard sale, in my opinion; why should I give her mine, right?
I think the friend actually offered her to stay with him (because difficult child loves to tell anyone who will listen how hard it is for her at home and how much her parents are beasts). Again, I stopped caring what she had people believing about us a long time ago, so that means nothing to me. Ironically, any friend who actually gets to know us, really like us a lot and I can see them wondering why difficult child gives us such a bad rap - lol!
More than having to clean up after others, which is a JOKE since she is a #1 slob, is I worry about her feeling like she owes this young man something...if you know what I mean...ew. Though I really don't see anything coming of this any time soon. She's a lot of hot air most of the time - trying to get a rise out of me I'm sure. But I am not biting (at least to her!).
Thanks for your comments. This is what I need to hear.
