[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such BS. The point is now, or a long time ago. There may be something to the "spoiling the nest" phenomenon in terms of it being common, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable or acceptable. You still PARENt for God's sake. Crack down NOW. Take the car away immediately if she is not willing to help the family with it. Absolutely no money give to her for anything but tuition and room and board. Tell her if she doesn't clean up her room, you all will go in and clean it for her and change her an hourly rate. I am not kidding. If she can't keep it clean, no privacy. Also, if you're paying for her phone and own the phone, tell her that is next. She can feel whatever she wants to feel but that is not license to treat you like dirt. The free ride stops now. [/quote] I have told my teen DD that if she doesn't clean her room, I'll do it for her. And she knows what that means -- things go in the trash bag.[/quote]
