[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, don't kick them out. It's too drastic, and they will hate you for it. [/b]
Just create house rules, charge rent, and enforce them after having a sit down talk with both of them. If they don't like it, they can move out on their own accord.

Normally, it's just one kid who acts out. In your case, there are two. It's not too late for you to change your parenting way. It's still love, but it's tough love which they seem to need it.

So they should be allowed to stay with their parents for how long?  [/quote]

Both kids acting out together suggests it isn't the table.

The girls may be entitled, naive or brats, but it may also be the case that the parents are doing something upsetting and do not understand what they are doing. If this is the case (which seems likely to me given the description of a small action leading to an enormous outburst) then whatever the parents are doing they will do again and again. Even after the girls move out.

The goal here, OP, isn't to be right but to make sure you still have daughters who love you five years from now.  That doesn't mean being a doormat, or tolerating spoiled kids, but it does mean figuring out your role iwhatever happened.

Too many of the "throw the daughters out" answers are adversarial. That won't win you anything.[/quote]
