[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 105482, member: 3647"] I have to say that I am with Jo and GG. Sleep breeds sleep. If you get into the habit of sleeping till mid afternoon, you can easily just keep sleeping till mid afternoon. 10 is SO reasonable that it is silly. I might instill an 8AM wakeup time with a full time job of looking for work until she finds full time work, or something like that, to get your point across. OR, if her jobs are mainly night jobs, then stick with the 10 wakeup time but still, full time look for work till she is employed full time. If she works nights, and is up till 1 or 2, but really working, I would imagine you would be willing to compromise on the wakeup time as long as she continued to pull her weight and pay her rent. I think that the 14 YO faces are very telling. She seems to be testing you, as a 14 YO would as well. Let's see how far we can push mom... Write it out. You can always change your deadline if you see progress. But write out EXACTLY what you want to see changed. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
