[quote=Anonymous]OP, is she being a good memeber of the household, preparing meals, being awake during the day and sleeping at night, cleaning up? I wouldn't charge rent because really what are you going to do if she doesn't pay? Ditto for food, what are you going to do if she doesn't "pay her share" tell her she can't eat the leftovers in the fridge, even if it means they'd have to be thrown out anyway? Make sure you and your husband are on the same page and that he (or you for that matter) aren't enabling bad behavior. At a minimum, she needs to have healthy sleep wake habbits. As for her getting out for a walk, that is hard to do this time of year and only works if you live in an area that's good for walking around. Do you have a treadmill or stationary bike she can ride? If you're charging her rent and then saying she "needs to excersize" she may legitimately be wondering how she'll pay for a safe place to do that. [/quote]
