I'm going spare with my DD who has recently turned 18, finished a levels and has the whole summer off, with no job. she is spending most days sleeping, then most evenings drinking, smoking and gossiping with friends. she is a bright sociable girl, lots of friends etc however i'm frustrated with the slacker lifestyle and can't seem to get through to her about this behaviour, i have two other DD's one of whom is only 5 and i can't cope with this 'amy winehouse' type person living in my house like this - is it just that time when the natural separation needs to occur and she moves out - i'm finding it very hard to know what to do for the best. btw i'm a single parent too - i do wonder if her dad would put up with a houseful of boozing teens hanging out mosts eves, maybe i'm just a soft touch.. advice desperately required!
