Why would she come home to do laundry and eat dinner, when she is living in another home?

lol @ your backfire....that's funny.

Anyway, I would just be cool and don't let things get to you. Let her move out....COMPLETELY out. Tell her she's welcome to visit, and eat dinner now and then as part of the family, but that's it.

No laundry, no stopping in for groceries or money...etc. She needs to know that she's on her own. If she's found another home to reside in, she's an adult, and that is her decision. I doubt it would last for long...and even if it did, it's her life now. She's 18...let her make her choices. The best you can do is stick to your guns and be a good parent.

I think you did the right thing in setting up a decision for her to make. She made it. She'd rather move out than be respectful of you. Well...that's fine. Just be sure she knows the rules. She's OUT as a dependent.
