[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 689016, member: 19905"] My daughter's complaints about living with us after rehab? "You have too many rules." "I won't be able to do what I want." "I won't be able to have anyone over when I want without asking." "I will have to ask for everything." That is kind of how it works when you have no income and no housing, regardless of WHO helps you out. Their house? Their rules. Her mindset has always been, "I'm an adult so I should be able to do what I want.." My mindset is, "You sure can, when you have your own income and your own house." Needless to say, she went elsewhere of her own accord. Exactly! I think they react just like toddlers: do outrageous, shocking things to get our attention. When we don't react, it forces them to up the ante, then try something different. I hope that eventually the "something different" will be "good choices." [/QUOTE]
