[quote=Anonymous]You need to introspect about why there are so many power struggles going on with your almost-adult kid. They should have been able to just ask you to take the period off to pack and they should have known you would have said yes. Your kid is almost an adult and you need to start letting go. You haven’t said anything that makes me think the kid needs a higher level of control over their life - are they not getting into college? Drugs? Alcohol? At this age they need to be getting basically as much personal freedom as possible. You need to be redefining house rules for what you expect for an adult child - like being polite, keeping you informed about their coming and going times, taking part in chores, keeping spaces clean, etc. [/quote]
