One just turned 18 and she leaves terrible messes in the kitchen and in the bathroom. She uses things up, not leaving any for the rest, she breaks basic rules, and she lies terribly to her father, denying that she does anything wrong and blames the messes on her brother. I get angry, but I keep it to myself. However, I take passive-aggressive means to solve the problems without confronting her because I know she's only lie about it, blame someone else, and start crying and run into her bedroom, slamming the door.
For example, she leaves dirty Q-tips on the bathroom counter, and messes from ramen noodles in the kitchen. So, to solve the problem I took away the Q-tips and hid them in my bathroom and took the ramen noodles away too. My husband doesn't know what to do, but wonders how many things we can take away.
Should I write her a letter to tell her how her leaving messes makes me feel?
Or should I talk to her face to face even though it'll really upset her.
