Marty, I know that peaceful drama free feeling, it's what life should be for the most part.  Your daughter is using you and your home as she pleases.  Do You need to put a stop to this? , what are your rules? I always insisted on a phone call if my kids aren't coming home so 1. we could go to sleep 2. the doors could be locked 3. consideration

I know for myself, had my middle son been an only child I might not have been so heavy handed on the rules, but llike you, I have a younger one watching.  so i guess you need to ask yourself ;what do you want the younger one to learn about house rules? I would never be presumptious enough to compare our issues, from what I read in l'il marty's confession, she has alot of accomplishments and IS WORKING.  My son on the other hand broke the record for skipping and hasn't had a first job yet., so to just use us for crashing when nowhere else was possible was more about "go to school or go to work" for us than anything else. So I guess what I'm saying is you need to soul search on if this is acceptable to you, (the drop and flop) and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, only what YOU think. God bless.
