I have a 18 year old daughter who lives with her 1 year old baby in my house. Since she dropped out of highschool, she's at home doing not much. I really want her to finish her education, so that one day she'll be able to be independent. She is not sure what she wants to do and she's not very keen to start something. I feel, that by now, my granddaughter is old enough to spend some hours in daycare, so that my daughter could either start looking for a job or go back to school. My daughter feels, that since her Dad pays child support for her, there is no need to work and everything else will just happen one day. But for me it has nothing to do with money, but everything with taking charge of your own life. I was a young mother myself, but I've finished college with 2 kids (now I have 4 and the youngest is 3) and I've worked all my life. How can I help my daughter to get on her own feet and off my back? What are her responsibilities and what are mine?
