How did you tell your adult child to move out?

[Anonymous]

She is nearly 28. She graduated from SLAC, moved in, and never left. She worked her first post undergraduate job, but she got fired and never returned to work. She hangs around at home. She has friends, a boyfriend, an active social life, goes out and drinks, but that’s about it. She seems content living this way. She’s unproductive and doesn’t contribute to the household, wakes up late, sleeps in.

Stop giving her money, tell her to get a job and charge rent.

"Time for you to move out."

Tell her to move out. Give her a couple months to find a place then adios.

Who is financing her life and drinking?

Why aren't you telling her to get a job?!

Sabotage her birth control so she marries the boyfriend and moves in with him. Added bonus: you get to be a grandmother.

Start charging rent.

Ask her to get a job and move in with her BF because your old age and retirement is looming so you need to downsize your expenses and possibly your house. You did extra decade after 18, you can't do it for ever.

That's also a good idea. If she wants to stay, she has to get a job, pay rent and do chores like an adult.

Being a wife and a mother and running a household is for responsible adults.

Wow, grow a pair op or she's going to walk all over you until she dies. WHO is paying her bills? You are.

"You have until June 1, 2026 to move out."

That's it. Don't argue don't explain.

OP here. I don’t cover anything for her. Her boyfriend and her father do. I’m 52, and have an 11yo son with my second husband. I know she’ll be mad about having to move out, how do I tell her?

You tell her that you love her, but you can't live with her anymore. You ask her to please move out within 6 months. As the deadline approaches, you remind her about it. With one month left, tell that you still love her, but that you'll be changing the locks at the end of the month. And then do it if need be.
