[QUOTE="witzend, post: 64398, member: 99"] She's how old? I can't tell from your profile. I'm guessing she's at least an older teen since she's working 40 hours a week. I wouldn't argue with her about this stuff. It's childish and antagonistic on her part, and clearly not well thought out. She wants to move out? Great. Where is she going to live, how is she planning to get her clothes there, and what does she plan to sleep on? Can you help her pack, or will she do it on her own? Is she aware that the furniture in her room belongs to you, not her? She wants to work less hours or quit her job? Good for her. How much will the rent be at her new place? Is she planning to eat out or cook her own meals, and how much does she plan to spend on food? Whatever her plan is, nod your head and smile. She'll have a different idea tomorrow, and even if she doesn't, maybe she really will plan it out and eventually move out and make it on her own. Arguing with her about these things is only going to make everyone miserable. You need to take care of yourself and let her go off on a tangent sometimes without buying into her drama. I'm not quite sure what to make of the police taking her. It's not a very good solution to her being upset. Where is she now? PS - Just read the rest of the posts. Take the truck back. [/QUOTE]
