My daughter has been "stealing" street signs for a few years now. There are dents in my bumper to prove that the were not just lying there. I talked to her about the fines incurred when the stolen signs are found in your possession. She knows.

Now I've found a new pair of shoes, over $60. shoes in her room. The "beeper" tags were in the box. Tools to remove the tags were in her room near the shoes. She is now 18. How should I bring it up?

I told her that if she wasn't willing to help out around the house, she should move out. She is now staying with my parents (past 3 months.) She is rude and unhelpful towards them too. Is there anything I can do to help her grow up besides letting her try to live on her own?

She works part time and is attending college. Playing with her friends takes precidence over being respectful towards those who are giving as much help as they can.

excon feel that is bad advise because he has seen how the legal system works from the inside. I have too. The law does little to teach lessons. Learning to behave like an adult is something learned from other free adults, not people in jail, or from jailers. And once a person is entangled with the legal system, it follows them around.

Prison is NOT A VACATION!!!!!!!!! If you don't want to go and be PUNISHED don't do the crime!!! And convicts should have their record follow them around.
