Inconsiderate college student daughter at home
My husband and I have a (soon to be) 21 year old daughter living at home. She will be entering her Junior year in college in the fall and has her own car which she baught herself and makes regular payments on. While in school full time, she also held down two jobs to pay for her car and add to a savings account. The problem is while she's only working approximately 20 hours per week for the summer, I can NOT ask a single favor or chore from her. Her father and I disagree on many things on this matter and refuses to get involved or take a stand with her. I've told her to move out if she refuses to help and my husband told her she could stay. I'm at a loss as to what to do from not being backed up by him in anything I say to her. She easily knows she's completely free to do just as she pleases no matter what her mother says. I've tried speaking with him about this however he's fearful of her moving out and dropping out of school to aford living on her own. I've been forbidden to tell her to leave. What can a married mother do without the back up of the dad for a single adult child? I NEED the housekeeping help with a severe back problem and no cash to higher anyone.
