have you ever just wanted to scream because your adult daughter who is living in your house with her 10 yr old kid is just brain dead, bum, and stupid?! Give her advise and she does just the opposite. I can't, in good conscience, throw her out of the house(much as i would like to) the child has enough emotional problems as it is. she has no job. she refuses to move out without her child yet she cannot support him....oh what to do! I am tired of paying many $$ to fix what she has broken. Her reaction is .. it can be fixed.. arggh!!!! how many other grandparents are out there supporting their grandchildren?

I would encourage your daughter to get a job. I would tell her that she can either get a job and help out, or she can live somewhere else, but leave the kid with you. I would tell her that if she wants to help her child, she needs to provide at least part of what it needs.

encourage?! ha! I have told her to get out but leave the kid. One good attitude she has is that she will not leave her child no matter what. she considers them to be a pair. she is looking for a job but there are hundreds of people out of work in this area - carpet industry area. and more holding on to their jobs by the skin of their teeth. even the Mexican immigrants are starting to leave the area in search of work. she has started to look for work tho.
