[quote=Anonymous]She's had tons of executive function coaching, is medicated for ADHD, and all of it just "doesn't work"? What that sounds like to me is a lack of parenting, and I am generally not a person to say it's a lack of parenting. The things you've done before got her through high school and into college, but it's clear that they did not build any skills to manage on her own. You need to have clear goals and requirements. Job for XYZ hours by X date, contribute $XXX/mo to "pay rent" on her room, which can be saved for actual rent later if OP doesn't need it for something else. If you are trying college again, having expectations about it is reasonable, but the expectations need to be geared toward her developing skills, not just getting through a class or a semester or a degree.[/quote]
