Why can I not get a handle on this situation with my daughter?
My daughter, 23, lives at home while she finishes school. She will be done in August. She has 2 children- twins, 4 years old. I'm a SAHM and watch the little ones while she's in school.
She does the absolute BARE minimum as far as helping out. I have to ride her ass to get her to wash their dishes and clean her room, etc...
I'm exhausted and irritated. She's more interested in dating whatever douche canoe she's found this week than actually helping.
I personally have zero issues with a tough love approach. My husband, her dad, however won't do anything that will potentially cause the little ones any discomfort. Which I can see his point, it's not their fault. And I do not not not want to become their full time care taker. I have 3 other children, 2 at home and I'm just not interested.
Is there a solution? Is there some vital parenting wisdom I don't see? I'm at my wits end and starting to resent my daughter.
TL;DR: my adult daughter is lazy, can't kick her and my grandkids out. Don't want her to leave without them.
Edit-I fat fingered a word
