I think it depends on many factors.  If she already messed up with your family and you are living under their roof, morally you need to tell her that because of her behavior you don't have the say anymore to let her stay.  On the other hand, what are her reasons for needing to stay a day?  If her reasons are important, like she has no other place to go and is not a chronic wanderer (not really staying anywhere although she has the resources to) then maybe you should have negotiated how to behave while in your home.  The $85.00  should probably not come into play for this favor she is asking of you.  \nI guess it all comes down to how close the two of you are. Also, your age.  Generally speaking, females are more catty between 15-24.  At this age group, there is a constant tug of war with emotions (hormones) and all of them are constant companions when they feel slighted.  Perhaps she feels like you are choosing your family's side over hers and she is jealous.  who knows?\nThis probably does not explain much, but I hope it helped.\nGood Luck.

Talk to your mother....you need help

The only thing you have to consider is where you are living.  Yes, you're 18 and an adult but if you are still living under your mother's roof then you need to follow her rules.  Still, there's no reason that you can't talk to her like an adult and explain that you would like some more freedom.  The biggest part of this is how much she trusts you.  If you've given her reasons to think that you can make good decisions then you're likely to get what you're looking for.  If you've shown her you can't, she's likely as not to tell you to follow her rules.

Talk to her and give her a deadline. Tell her that she needs to move by a certain day, no exceptions! If it doesn't work, remove all of her personal belongings and deliver them to her mother. \nBy reading what you have typed, sounds like you are the type of person who gives in easily to others distress. She needs to understand that you will not take any excuses. Sometimes tough love is just what people need.\nIt is hard to advise on this because we who reply do not know the full situation.\nMaybe the person you are helping is a moocher. Maybe she's afraid to move in with her mother. Without knowing the person's age and situation, it is hard to say whether this person needs a reality check, or compassion.

"Whenever I (her mom) try to talk to her, she reminds me that she's 20 years old and doesn't have to listen to me."\n\nSeems your daughter is quick to take your help when she needs it but then shows no appreciation or respect for it or you as her mother. She's right, she is 20 and she doesn't have to listen to anyone. It's also true since she 20 that she's of legal age so my suggestion is this. The next time she spends the night at her cheating boyfriends house, who she left to move home, then pack her things, call a local mom n pop mover and have all of it delivered to her boyfriends house. When she looses it and calls you or comes home, which she will, advise that you're also of age and don't have to listen to anyone, especially her. Send her on her way with one last thought and that is when she's ready to grow up, act like an adult and treat you with the respect you deserve then you're willing to sit down and listen.

You aren't.  You've done your job.  If she is 26 y/o, living with you and disrespects you, it's time you sit her down and let her know if she doesn't change her attitude, she's going to have to leave.  I can understand if she was a teen, but she's a grown woman and she needs to start acting like one.

let her go. Obviously she thinks she is old enough to have a child and take care of  it. Maybe she'll think back on this when her 17 year old runs away.

Best advice is to talk to a family law attorney.  You'd have to prove that you'd be better off on your own than with your parents/guardian.  It's pretty tough to do, unless you can prove abuse or neglect and can prove that you have the means in which to support yourself, such as a trust fund that you would get when you turned 18, etc.  They're not too keen on emanicapting minors if it means you would have to get a full time job to survive.  You'd just wind up in foster care until 18.

you might need to find a shelter.  If you are a girl between 18-25 go to transitional housing

If you have very good reasons, then you can go to court and ask to be "emancipated". This means that that you would be considered an adult in your own right, and your mother would no longer be your guardian. \n\nHowever, consider first that your mother loves you very much, and you need each other. (Everyone needs a loving family member!)

Get a lawyer. I believe a chid can decide which parent he/she wants to live with at the age of 13. Call an attorney and get a free consultation. Don't let this child live in an abusive household.

Well the eviction notice was intended for his mother(person on the lease). Since her 16 year old son is living there, though she is evicted. doesn't mean that being kicked out of their place doesn't apply to him.  It doesn't matter how old you are you can get kicked out of anywhere. If you're a friend help him to find somewhere to live wether it be with other family or a helpful friend. Since he's under age I wouldn't be surprised if the police step in and send cps to pick him up and put him in foster care.

Because she is 18 and graduating,I'll bet when you restrict or pressure her,she will end up moving out and either shacking or marrying the 26 year old year old with children or want to.She is not old enough to make it comfortably on her own so she would most likely live with someone else.She will then have herself a ready made family that may or may not work out. You are doing her no favor paying "her"cell phone bill.When I was that age I had strict parents.Every child in our house had chores.We were never charged rent,but was expected to do chores to help out,it was not fair to our parents for them to do all the work when they feed us and gave us a home for as long as we wanted.If you did not follow their curfew and respect their home,then you had to move out. We worked a summer job and when we graduated were expected to work a full time job.If I made any kind of bill,I paid it,they did not.That is not being cruel,that's making me responsible.You are the step parent,so if I were you,I would leave it up to her father(her blood parent)to talk to her.If you try to,she may look at you and say "I don't have to listen to you,you are not my mother".So,for your feelings,let the father have a one on one talk with his daughter.Tell him to explain to her what he seeing her getting into and how it is going to be in reality such as:In the relationship with the 26 year old she will be a mother(step-mom)to another women's children,depending on how active the 26 year old man is, may end  up baby sitting while he's out doing whatever,may end up pregnant by this man and have even another child.Sit her down,don't be mad,just explain to her that yes this is her life and if "she" ends up with the 26 year old,her life is over as she know's it.It will be her burden to carry,not yours.Ask her to think about all the freedoms she has now and how she feels about losing all that at such an early age.You know how real life is and you only want the best for her.Now is the time to talk to her and get her to realize exactly what kind of life she is going to have if she ends up with this man.Don't be mad when you talk to her,just be very honest.Then do not cater to her irresponsibility.Let her pay her bills and live her life.Like my parent's told me,go out and make your bed hard if you want and you,not I will sleep in it.They said if you get into trouble,"you" will have to figure out how to get out of it.I thought my parents were mean,but I realized how much they loved me,some of their advice I didn't listen to,I wished I had.She is graduating and will be an adult somewhat.You have to let her make choices for herself.If she decides on a life of misery,there is not much you or your husband can do to stop her.Give her the best advice you can and stand by your word when you say she is on her own.She will find out really fast that life is not fair,things are exspensive,life is hard,that she had it so good and didn't know it and most of all she will quicklly learn she does not know everything and possibly that you were right.

Tell her to contact Social Services. You should not have to take care of her. Give her a deadline for making other living arrangements. Break it to her as diplomatically as you can but have a heart-to-heart talk and let her know that you were willing to assist her in an emergency but now both she and you need to move on.
