I have 3 girls. the youngest is 17. And thinks she scared me last week by "threatening" to move out. So I made a list of all the bills, big and trivial. Made her a list of allll that needs done around the house on a REGULAR basis and then a list of upkeep, maintanence stuff and the FUN STUFF like clogged, reallly clogged toilets, backed up drains etc. made a copy for her and her just 18 yr old boyfriend. told em when they could afford 3/4 of the bills and groceries; when they learned how to do 1/2 of the chores, repairs etc to come back and I would help em move. ain't heard a peep. I just want her to know that it takes work to live outside of her 4 bedroom walls.
