You need to let her fail now while the stakes are still relatively low. There is absolutely no reason a 19 year old woman with no known issues should need her parent to wake her up and guide her through the process of getting ready. The ADHD question doesn’t even matter, she needs to learn how to do this on her own either way.[/quote]

This.  Defund her.  If you are paying for anything other than her phone, stop now.  The entirety of her spending money should be coming from her job.  If she gets fired, then she has no money.  Period.  My unmedicated ADHD college student (DC is allergic to all the effective ADHD meds, so has learned executive functioning on their own) gets up and gets to work with no problem.  Stop enabling her.   Just stop.  I cannot believe you are doing this level of micromanaging with a 19 year old.  Drop the rope and let her learn from her mistakes.  And after she gets fired from this job, tell her that you will stop paying for the phone if she gets fired from the next one.  [/quote]
