[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 145838, member: 3626"] Lisa, it does sound like she was trying to push you to kick her out. My daughter was really good at and if I didn't take the bait, she'd pick a fight and run out the door to move in with her friends, anyway. I agree that it probably isn't a conscious maneuver. It is, however, a way to get what she wants (move out of the house and into a place with her boyfriend) and, if things don't work out, it's. not. her. fault. -- you kicked her out. If you give her a set deadline and offer to help her a little with the move, then it is harder for her to blame you. She might be upset that you pushed her out the door, but you didn't kick her out -- huge difference in our kids' minds. Making them grow up is hard. Making them grow up with a little one in the picture has got to make it so much harder. Wish you the best on this one. [/QUOTE]
