Well, hon, she is an adult at 19 years of age. However as long as she lives under your roof she should follow your rules at least show you some respect. Maybe it is time to show her some tough love and make her find a place of her own? It might make her grow up.
best wishes.

I'd start with -- Be positive 7 Keep smiling..
the same can be said to your daughter as well.
However i'd say that as she is an adult she might take it as an offensive act to guide her or order her rule her..Try to put your suggestions in aa wrapper of discussion, try letting some her good friends invited at your place at times.
Make her feel that she could share all her things;no matter how good or evil they are,with you.. make her feel that you would always be there to help her out even if she does something wrong.. make her feel that you are not ruling or not letting her grow out of cocoon.. make her feel that you're there to assist her as friend,as parent as guide to make her better..
That's it,moreover don't ecer forget that she is your own blood and above all the relations and relatives in the world..
All the best..

You should tell her that you canno't continue like this anymore, and ask her to move out and help her find her own apartment. She will either straighten out or she will move. Let her go, she is 19 it is time for her to grow up.

she's 19, an adult. time to loosen the reigns and stop being the overbearing one. just say hey next time could you leave me a note so i don't worry? how do you expect her to grow and not be a potential target if you keep her locked up?
