[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - she has been staying with her mom. Her mom has been pressuring her to get a job, and I think that's wearing on her. I think she just wants to escape the pressure at her mom's. I do think she should get a job, but my husband wants to give her a little leeway to figure things out (he hopes she will re-enroll in January). [/quote]

I'm not seeing any where that the daughter is depressed.  It sounds like she is just failuring to launch.

What has daughter been doing the last 5 years?  It sounds like she has some college and not much else.

Twenty two years old is not a youth.  Most kids are graduated from college at 21 and I was graduated from college at age 20 and working full time jobs.

All of us have had to work jobs that we are not crazy about.  That is why work is called work.

It sounds like bio Mom is doing the right thing in pushing daughter to get a job.

Rent and work and stay at  Mom's or Rent and work and stay at Bio Dad's or military enlistment.  Temp agency can get daughter work in 24 hours.

In deference to Step Mom, it sounds like Step Mom has a very strong work ethic (working 3 jobs) and some exposure to Step Mom's work ethic
might be helpful.[/quote]
