Dear Eric: My 37-year-old daughter, along with her 10-year-old son, live with my wife and me. My daughter shares custody with my grandson’s father.
My daughter is two years sober, which is great. She works most days in an outdoor profession but has many days off due to weather.
When she’s not working, she’s sitting in her room on her phone and/or watching TV. She does not help my wife and me with any of the normal household chores. She always leaves a mess.
She’s supposed to be paying rent each week but rarely does. If it wasn’t for my grandson, we’d probably evict her.
We drive 4½ hours sometimes to drop her son off with his dad. She’s either working or says she gets too stressed out seeing her ex to do it.
She let her car insurance, registration and inspection lapse over a year ago
