Last night I got into a fight with my 18 year old daughter. Im a single parent, I have 5 kids. The other kids are in school, my daughter has graduated high school. She was supposed to start college last semester, but didn't get the paper work done in time, so she is going next semester. She had a job, an internship that ended. She would be looking for a job but is waiting for her ID card and Social Security card to come in the mail. When I came home last ngiiht, I asked her about how that is going, and I advised her that if she is not working or going to school.. she really needs to be helping out around the house instead of rotting ont he sofa on the internet all day long. I just moved a week and a half ago, and there are boxes everywhere. Instead of just agreeing, or saying yes.. she had to talk to back. When she talks back, nothing that she says makes sense or even has to do with what we are talking about.

All I asked of her was that since she is 18, and living rent free.. I pay for her food, shelter, trips, hygiene supplies.. everything.. just to wash the dishes or cook something. She got an attitude with me and said she does not want to clean all day. Well I dont really want to WORK all day.. but i have to. She sits ont he internet all day.. that I pay for.. and COMPLAINS because there is no cable.. and hwo she is BORED all day. Well I say welcome to the world. I wish I had that much free time.. Id be getting ahead. I told her to leave and she refused. I just can't take it, when I trya nd tell her ANYTHING that is right.. she cannot get it.. because rather than LISTEN, she prefers to run her mouth and come up with ridiculous excuses or say things that make no sense whatso ever. Suggestions??

oh and by the way.. she throws it in my face at all the things that I couldnt do for her.. the things I couldnt buy for her. So she says " well you never did ANYTHING for me". By ANYTHING.. she means the designer thigns and extras that she wanted. She doesnt stop to thing being a single mother being laid off at one point and not getting any child support.. how I struggled just to pay rent and provide food.. but I always kept her safe, warm and fed. I think she is ungrateful.
