[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts: to make it a dialogue, be sure to ask what her ideas are for how to integrate her into your household. This isn't giving her the job of setting her own rules, but signaling that you understand she is 2 years away from adulthood and so you value her expectation and ideas. You have already set expectations for weekends during her visits, so I would focus on how school nights and regular week rules are obviously different for everyone involved. Avoid the word "rule" and talk about balancing needs, responsibilities, expectations, given all of the different schedules during a workweek, etc. [/quote]
