Aibu to want dd to move out?

[PeppasNanna]

Dd is 25. After Uni she came home. So 3 years ago. Not for good but so she could get herself organised & move on

Shes a qualified engineer. Earns very good money. She talks about moving out but hasn't.

Our home life has totally changed since she initially went to uni. I need her to move out. I have 2 boys with SN sharing a room who wake & disturb each other constantly. She works shifts so a nightmare keeping the younger dc quiet.

Personally, I would move due to the noise but shes just booked another holiday...

When I asked her what her plans are with regards to moving out, she got really annoyed with me.

AIBU? She 25 earns over £40k a year. 4 holidays this year. Brand new car. But wint sort her own place.

It wasn't her childhood home.

We've not been here long.

Sorry if people have misunderstood me. I've clearly told dd she needs to move out by the first week of September. The work should start downstairs by mid September. Then the work upstairs altering rooms to create an extra room.

I will always help dd out but realistically i can't have her here indefinitely. She wont be buyingbin London. She can rent or even buy but has chosen not to.

I spoke to her this morning about her plans to move out & she got really upset. I felt bad which promoted me to start the thread.

It really would help if prople read the thread before posting!

Don't keep the boys quiet, for starters! She can get moved into a rental within a few weeks if she gets in gear, and you have every right to stop tiptoeing around in your own home.

She's upset because she knows her sponging off you has to stop.

You certainly have nothing to reproach yourself with apart from enabling this situation for so long.

Since it wasn't her childhood home, that actually makes things easier as she won't have any sentimental attachment to the place. If she knows she has to leave by September, why was she upset when you mentioned it? Was she trying to guilt you into changing your mind? Stay strong, OP. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Don't feel bad OP. She's using your good nature to her own very large advantage. At her age and on that wage she should definitely be moved out.

Different situation but my daughter is the same age and had moved back for a while after uni. We reached a point where DH and I began to feel a bit resentful and she began to feel unappreciated at home but we were all aware it was living together causing that.

She moved out last year and is far happier as she has more independence, has made other young friends living nearby and has a far better social life as her flat is more "in the thick of things" than our house is. DH and I miss her but enjoy having the house to ourselves and the plus is that we now spend more quality time with her than when she was living under the same roof

Wow she really is taking the biscuit.
Giving her til september is more than generous in her circumstances.

She is an adult now and you shouldn't have to pay or compromise you and your younger dc lives for her.

God thats good money, what does she do?

Shes an engineer. Only a handful of women engineers in the company as traditionally very male orientated area of work.

Your daughter is being very manipulative. She has more than enough money to move out and obviously isn't serious about saving for a deposit since she's spending it on holidays etc. It isn't that you love her brothers more but they need you more because they are children with special needs and she is an adult and able to be independent. Don't feel bad about giving her a deadline. I think once the dust has settled and she has found her own place this will ultimately be better for your relationship because you won't be building up resentment.

Must be interesting.I was going to retrain as a nurse but may look into that lol! I'm afraid I agree though, she really does need to move out.

I would say to her that the boys can no longer share and explain why and say that she is welcome to sleep on the sofa until she can find a flat but you need the boys to have their own rooms.

OP, is there any chance she's been lying to you about her salary?

I'm an engineer, and a salary of over £40K for an engineer with 3 years experience and only an undergrad qualification is exceptionally high, even if you allow for a shift allowance.

I see she's having 4 holidays a year. I work with no recently qualified engineers (even those who live at home and pay no rent/bills) who go on that number of holidays per year.

Is there any chance the reason she's got upset with you is that financially she's not in the position she's presented herself as being in to everyone, and so can't afford to move out?

YANBU at all - but it seems really odd that a 20-something who had the money to get their own place wouldn't want to do so and would rather live at home with her parents and siblings. Do you think she's OK in general - no issues with work/ worries over losing her job/ debt she hasn't told you about?

I had to move back in with my parents at 30 thanks to a rubbish relationship. I had to pay rent, Do my fair share AND show my mum my savings account every single month. She worked out my budget and woe betide me if the amount she set didn't go into that savings account. my credit card went in the safe and I've had one cheap (under £100) holiday in three years that they paid for my birthday present. It's been bloody tough but I'm just waiting on house to complete.

You have to get tough I'm afraid, I hated it at first but now I am so grateful to my parents for putting up with me and teaching me finally how to budget.

Your patents clearly had control issues to treat you like that at 30!!
Dd is perfectly cspable of budgeting. Shes managed to go to Croatia, Amsterdam & New York in just over 7 months & has a big holiday planned the end of November to the Caribbean. She s bought a brand new car as well.

Dd is not particularly well paid compared to her collegues. I'm not sure what kind of engineer you are squigglegirl but all dd's collegues have very high standards of living.

Dd stayed at home this long as its easy.
She has a very good standard of living, thanks to me but she appreciates nothing.

She will be moving out end of August & in all honesty, I'm so relieved.

Thankyou for all the responses.

Was that aimed at me? Because no they don't have control issues they were just fed up of me bouncing from shit rental to shit rental when I make more money than both of them combined and I should at my age be settled in a nice house. Please don't presume to know my family situation or label my parents when everything they have ever done is for me.

You came on here asking if you were being unreasonable and I'm saying no it is ridiculous your DD doesn't help in anyway or give you rent. But if you think my parents have trust issues then maybe you should just let your daughter do what I did and spunk her money on holidays and nice cars and nice things and not build a future. I really hope your DD doesn't make the mistakes I did

When we bought the house we are living in the previous owners were selling it to downsize so they didn't have room for their daughter to live with them. It did work but seemed a bit drastic to me.

She doesn't want to spend her money she's taking you for a mug OP sorry
My almost school leaving age DD knows she will be supported through further education but wouldn't be if she took the piss. She's living the life of Reilly at 25 while a lot of people her age are struggling on a lot less money than she earns. You need to be firm with her and give her a deadline. Or charge her what she would pay in rent/mortgage and tell her you're building an extension on your home for your sons to have a room each and need the cash to fund it

OP that's good news I hope all the renovations go as easily and quickly as possible for you all and I hope they help your DSons to sleep better at night.
