single mother with 18yrold daughter / 16yr old son. Daughter just started uni and lives at home, she believes that now that she has reached the legal age she can do whatever she wants whenever she wants with totally no regard for our feelings. Bone idle and selfish, she is making our lives miserable :(

Stop cleaning for her, cooking for her, washing for her or giving her money.

That is what I would do.

If she was in halls she would have to do all her own cooking,washing and cleaning. I would sit down and talk to her about it and point out this fact. DD2 was a bit like this when she was at home in her unplanned gap year, DH told her that we would only support her at uni if she pulled her wirght at home so she did start doing something then,
She is now in her second year at uni and has realised how much everything costs she even tells one of her house mates to turn of his xbox when his not using it as it will make the electiricity bill more.
