[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 150999, member: 3626"] Here's how I did it. Paying rent was not an issue -- she did give me a minimal amount and was good about doing that. She became a tenant because of other stuff -- the messes she wouldn't clean up, the refusal to her share of chores, the constant attitude. I didn't cook for her. I didn't go out and play with her (no shopping, walking around the squares, just goofing off together). I would be polite, much like I would be to an acquaintance but not a good friend. As a tenant, she was expected to clean up her own messes. She did not have any chores. If she didn't, the computer and television in her room were disconnected until the mess was cleaned up. She was basically forced to live in her room -- that's what she paid for. The rest of the house was mine. She had kitchen and laundry privileges but she had to buy her own food and detergent. It wasn't a lot of fun. I missed talking to my child, hearing how her day had gone, doing things with her. However, it stopped the drama in the house and my feelings of resentment towards the messes she expected me to clean up. [/QUOTE]
