[quote=Anonymous]OP, the PP with the three-point program sounds like a truly amazing host mom and I commend her for sticking with it and coming up with and executing such a great and successful plan.

But I do want to say, that it sounds like for me anyway, something like that effort would take an inordinate amount of time, thought, and effort and although I strive to be the best host mom I can be, there comes a point when a young adult who has chosen to come to my house and who I pay about $23,000 a year for the privilege of living with needs to take some responsibility on herself.

I think you can put forth your best effort - it might be the extensive personality shaping effort that the PP pulled off or it might just be talking to her, making sure she knows you're there for her, and then telling her if she's not going to be content then you need to pull the plug on it. You do not have to feel guilty for not going through Herculean efforts to pull a young adult through her year.

Do the best you can, but know that it just might not work out, and that's ok. [/quote]
