My daughter (she is 24), who has some self esteem issues recently quit her job. So she thought her only option was to move in with her boyfriend (which is a total train wreck). I have told her numerous times that she can move in with me, I have an extra room. She has friends that say come move in with them. I am sure her mom would let her move back with her.No, she moves in with her lazy ###, emotionally stunted boyfriend and then constantly #####es about it.  :wall: We were supposed to go to the movies yesterday (she had a headache), reschedule for today.She just calls saying she can't go then launches into a diatribe about her dumb ### boyfriend. I said nothing but I wanted to throttle her.I don't know how to get to her. She is not listening to anybody and making herself completely miserable

Nothing you can do to help her at this point as she is grown.  If she reaches out, help her but if she keeps canceling plans I would quit making them with her.

 
It's the Facebook generation. I think they make stupid decisions on purpose just for the drama.

I have a 24 yr old stepdaughter I could post pages about smh

Why she quit her job without another one lined up?

Sounds lIke bad parenting if you ask me.

I think I would be more concerned about a 24 yr old quitting a job without another one lined up, than I would be about her moving in with her boyfriend. I wonder what the boyfriend tells his parents about your daughter.

I think you overestimate how much guys talk to their parents about the tail they are getting.

 
Update: If you are thinking about having kids...Don't, run away

If you already have kids...I feel your pain.

When will they ever listen to the parent? That is all I am going to say

 
Not much you can do. I married out of revenge of sorts when I was 23 so be grateful your dau isn't like me. Mom had told me before dating this man who was 20 years older than I that if I did, I was on my own. All kinds of threats. Didn't do anything except push me away further. I married in secret as I was still in university for another year. Of course it didn't work out long term but her controlling ways contributed to my wild ways back then. I'd say let her be. If she asks advice then give it otherwise she's 24. When the fall out happens then be there without the I told you so or lectures.

 
My paw, he done moved out when I was a baby. Maw did all she could for us...waited tables, sewed dresses, you name it. Maw had an old guitar that was given to her by her grandpappy. At night after dinner she'd strum that old guitar. It was nice. Then she got kicked by a mule and I was on my own. An experience like that, it really makes you grow up fast.

badmojo, short of you moving in with the lazy ### boyfriend too, I don't have much ideas.

Do you include the BF when you wanna hangout with your girl?

Have in the past, but right now, I never want to see him again

Do not see it as an endorsement but respect for your daughter's personal decision as an adult.  

Kids want to be independent as they grow older.  Your girl has more more self esteem than you think.  She needs your moral support and will be happier and more open with you when you show her you're on her side.

 
My daughter is 23.  She is "engaged" to a loser who bought her a fake ring on Amazon.  There isn't much you can do other than hope she wakes up one day. HTH.
