[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only friend she has is the boyfriend. She's always been a loaner and always had just one friend at a time when she has friends. One of my problems is a lack of leverage other than a place to live and I'm not ready to kick her out onto the street just yet. I may get there but I'm not there yet.

When we told her we wouldn't pay for her cell phone anymore, she and her boyfriend got their own plan that he pays for. When we stopped buying her clothes, he started buying her clothes. If we don't put gas in the car, he does. Though she is losing the keys to the car if she's not working and not in school. That won't really impact her though as she only goes to school and places with her boyfriend. It's not like she wants to run around with girlfriends like her sister. I would have a ton of leverage over dd#2 in a situation like this.

While I like her boyfriend, I need him to go away for a year and leave her on her own. She hasn't had to do without because we won't pay for things because he's always there to fix it.[/quote]

I'm sorry but since her boyfriend is willing to take on all this responsibility for her wellbeing, why doesn't she move in with him?

I think your husband is right. It's time to put her out.[/quote]

The boyfriend (or more likely, the boyfriend’s parents) pay for everything because DD is providing the sex.

Once he gets bored of that, she will find herself single, and either back at home or on the street.[/quote]
