[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the obvious question is, what is her father doing about it?[/quote] This. You need to talk to him, and he needs to talk to her. She is in a phase of life which is artificial:freedom of a grown up but no responsibilities. I would start making her support contingent on her behavior (be it going back to school, chores, working, financial contribution?). You and your husband should agree on options you can live with, and have a calm meeting with her to discuss a new plan. Give her a voice in the decision but stand united about the fact that things have to change. Try hard not to insult her. The goal should be getting her back on track for a successful future. Use a professional mediator/counselor if you don’t think you can all have this discussion civilly and respectfully. [/quote]
