[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 105441, member: 1545"] I guess I wouldn't have a problem with her sleep schedule IF you hadn't mentioned lots of other issues. No job. Not helping around the house. Not doing anything productive. She is 20 years old. Living with you is a privilege not a right anymore. I don't think your expectations are unreasonable. I don't think you are throwing her to the wolves. I think she needs some reality to get her off her behind and get her motivated. If it were me - I would put your requirements down on paper. Make sure they are 'measurable goals'. That is - concrete requirements that can be 'counted'. IE: Help out around the house isn't very concrete. Stating that vacuuming every Monday and Thursday or Preparing dinner on M-W-F are concrete goals. The ball is in her court now. [/QUOTE]
