[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is going into her second year of college this fall. She has been home for the summer holidays, and I am counting down the days until she moves back for school. I am an only parent, and she tries to treat me like a roommate. She is inconsiderate (ie using the car and not filling up on gas, leaving garbage everywhere, not doing her chores, etc) and disrespects me (calls me the worst parent ever). I try to set boundaries but it’s so tiring. I can’t wait for September 1st 😀 How have you transitioned your adult kids out of the house once they are finished school? [/quote] Talk to her and ask how you two can build a functional and mutually beneficial relationship as two independent adults who care for each other but respectfully maintain personal boundaries. Be ready to receive some criticism and backlash but be patient as you are her mom and trying to sort this issue not complicate it.[/quote]
