[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you letting her sit home and do nothing? Tell her if she's not in school full time she needs to pay you rent. That will force her to get a job. Why are you bankrolling her? You need to stop coddling and light a fire under her ass. Tell her on June 1, she owes you $600 for June rent. She has all of May to get a job and start saving. money. [/quote]

I do mean this in the most sincere way possible: Why are people always obsessed with DC getting a job? If they help out around the house and are otherwise a pleasant person to be around, I don’t see any harm in them staying at home.[/quote]

To me it’s not about the job, it’s about helping your DC realize that it’s not a “real” life choice to sit around while someone else pays for your life. Being in college or going to school is their “job” when they are younger, but if they aren’t in school and are otherwise capable, they need to be doing something useful with their lives. Volunteering would also be fine with me.

We are wealthy and we focus on hard work, not achievements. My kids are given a lot of opportunities and material things, and our expectation is that in return they will work hard. At age 5, working hard probably just means tidying their toys, but by age 19, it absolutely means college or a job. It’s not about the money, it’s a value. [/quote]

The stay at home mommies of drum would beg to differ that sitting around while someone pays for your life isn’t a real life choice. Does the boyfriend want to marry her and have a family?[/quote]
