[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you tell your biological 22 year old daughter?

Frankly, 22 isn't ridiculously old to want to move home.  I would make any child work, go to school (or trade school), etc.  But I would always provide a home for my children.  That's what parents do![/quote]

Well...my parents had a rule that we all moved out when we were 18 so I'm not sure my opinion would be different. I guess I grew up more independent and have that as my mindset. But you make a good point that parents need to provide a home for their kid. Her problem is she does not want to work. Her mom told us she spends all day at home (no local friends - they're all away at school). She has applied to a few jobs but hasn't had any luck. [b]This would be her first job so she doesn't have any work experience[/b].[/quote]
I was onboard with letting her move in until I read this. Sounds more like she is using her dad. I am all for giving a lift up to a child who helps themselves, but 22 without school, a degree, or ever having a job is suspect. [/quote]
