We have an 18 year old daughter. She is currently working part time and still in high school (senior year). She wants to go full time at work as soon as she graduates and then probably attend the local state college part time. I've told her as long as she's working full time and/or attending college, she is welcome to live at home as long as she wants. I do want her to pay her own personal bills though -- does this sound appropriate? Currently we fully support her. I think paying her phone bill, car insurance, and maybe buying some food or something (for herself, not to feed the whole house) would be fair. What are some other ways I can start to prepare her for getting out on her own? She's got a savings account that she's been putting a chunk of her pay into every week, which is for a car and eventually a house/condo. Any other ways I can get her ready? We don't want to MAKE her leave but we also don't want her to be unprepared. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2zEczI5
