[QUOTE="witzend, post: 105588, member: 99"] I think I would let the sleep issue go, but not so far as that I was quiet around my own house. L did that when she was living with us a few years back - rent free. I did what I had to do when I wanted to do it. Too bad if it woke her up. That's what happens at [i]my[/i] house. Don't like it? Get your own. The rent would be non-negotiable. Chores would need to be done while [i]I[/i] am awake. Same deal, it's my house, that's how it's done. And you know what? If you still decide that you need her to leave, I think that's ok too. She doesn't [i]need[/i] to work more than weekends, because she doesn't have to pay (real) rent, food, electric, water, garbage, etc. Obviously, she [i]can[/i] work. I wouldn't feel too guilty about sending her packing at that age. I'd probably help with first and last and security, if I could, but it may be time to kick her out of the nest. But do it with strength, not with anger. [/QUOTE]
