Our 18 year old daugher, Miss I Know What I'm Doing, moved back home after only 4 mnths. She moved out with her g'friend. They paid the first month's rent at their apartment and didn't pay any more. They were evicted. Now, she knew before she moved that we wouldn't be able to help much because her dad got caught in a mass lay-off and ended up with a lower paying job. I work as well. We also have 3 younger children. We told her if she moved back home, she'd have to pay rent, car ins. and pitch in on food. All total it only amnts to about $200 a month. Cheap if you ask me. She has a job - if she goes - and brings home a little over $200/week. She's not offd to do ANYTHING since being home. She complains about everything. She also owes about $9,000 after being on her own for 4 months. She seems perfectly happy with the minimal job she has and doesn't care to pay a thing. I said to give her a time limit, make her save money, pay bills, dad's not sure. Any suggestions?
