Lies

Unless your daughter is a compulsive liar - tells lies about everything, then maybe there is a deeper problem. Why did she feel the need to lie to you about not having a job? She said it was so you wouldn't worry, but do you maybe express that worrying in a way that she might view as lecturing or badgering? Did she perhaps think you would be extremely disappointed in her if she quit or lost her job? Does she give you her paycheck, or does she keep it for her own needs? What would I do in your shoes? If you charge her rent, keep charging it - it's her decision on how she's going to pay it. Don't bail her out by paying her bills - let her know those are her responsibility. I would back off the job issue - tell her - this is what you owe, how you choose to pay that is your decision. If you want to quit a job that's your decision, but you're still going to have these bills and you're going to have to figure out how to pay them. Good luck to you.
