Well, it appears that SD is moving out rather than pay rent. We noticed she came home the past two nights (comes in after we go to bed and leaves after we leave for work). DH called me at work yesterday afternoon and said her shelving unit was emptied and sure enough, when I got home I noticed that a lot of her stuff is gone and the rest of the stuff looks organized as if ready to be packed and moved. I told DH last night that I can promise she will be home tonight because today is the move day (while we are at work) and sure enough she came home last night.

Well, I didn't make it the 30 days with my mouth shut because hubby called to order a house meeting last night. I am so proud of him! SD19 sat down and he asked if she was planning on staying with us or moving out and she came out like a lion, "I'll stay as long as I don't have to pay rent" with a very entitled look on her face. I then asked why she felt she should not have to pay rent and she thru her finger at hubby and said "gram never charged you rent".....um no she didn't but that was because he moved out at 16.

She sent a text late on Saturday night to DH, quitting college, going to mom's for the weekend, be back Tuesday. I guess we can be grateful it wasn't the text that said "I'm pregnant".

I do think DH gets it now. SD18 has been ignoring not just me but DH for about 3 months now. We sat her down last week and had a talk and nothing has changed. We had warned her that after constant reminders for her to do her one chore a week (vacuum 3 rooms) that we will no longer be reminding her, we will simply do the chore and bill her for $15 an hour (the rate I charge customers for my cleaning business). After this rule was made, we then reminded her an additional 5 times because DH felt badly, his poor girl barf.
