[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 426091, member: 9175"] I would let her take leftovers if she didn't live with you - enough for herself only - but I wouldn't let her take things fromthe cupboard or freezer. My difficult child lives with her dad. He is a great cook and he is also inclined to overstock (big fan of Cotsco) but when she comes here for dinner, she will ask if she can take the leftovers. In her case, I think it's nostalgia. Dad is a great cook, but she still misses mom's cooking (I'm no slacker in that department either!). If she chooses to give her idiot boyfriend the leftovers, then there won't be any for her. It will get old soon enough. If she lives with you, there's no reason for food to be going out the door. I'm also with hound on the curfew thing and the spending the night elsewhere thing. This is exactly why my difficult child lives with her dad! I just wouldn't put up with it. If she wants to engage in adult activities - such as pj parties with her boyfriend, then she can have her own aparment. Unfortunately (or fortunately ...can 't decide which some days) DEX gives her a roof over her head, three squares a day .. all rent free .. and allows her to do as spe pleases. Set your boundaries for YOU. Dash [/QUOTE]
