Well my 21 yo SD just got a full time job she starts next monday she was waitressing about 20 hours a week and we told that she had to have a full time job or she needed to go live with her mother.  She was pretty excited about the job (daycare center she wants to work with kids) that is until she called her mother.  Her mother said "you are an adult and they can't make you get a full time job, you should just keep working part time at Friendly's and have fun"  My husband almost called her to say like what are you doing but he talked to the daughter and explained that she is an adult and is expected to be working full time to live with us and that maybe she needs to re-think things and live with her mother if she wants to work part time and party.  We have been together 10 years it amazes me that the ex still wants to play the kids against my husband.  I thought it would end when they became adults but I don't think it ever ends.
