<p>Well, she has moved back home this week.</p>
<p>Decided that her parents aren't all that bad & agreed to a couple of simple house rules.</p>
<p>She is looking at doing a couple of courses (yes we'll pay, but that is what parents are for after all) & looking for a part time job.</p>
<p>She no longer expects everything to be her way (mostly) & is actually looking forward & wanting to have some control over her future & not wanting to become a waste of space (her words).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Things are going really well in the house at the moment (I'm aware that this might just be a honeymoon period though) & communication is at an all time high.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took 3 weeks & was hard to do as parents, but I think the "real world experience" has taught her a lot in a very short space of time.</p>
<p>Apparently life sucks with no money & no one will just give it to you. Go figure.</p> -
<p>Good to hear Chaz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This may sound a little weird, but do you reckon her spikier episodes are due to menstrual hormones? Like every 4 weeks she just loses her shit?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As time has gone on in my marriage, I've come to understand my wife's hormonal crests reasonably well (I use this to track impending poontang, I'm not ashamed to say). And I'm not looking forward to when my little girl starts getting the daemon flow...</p> -
<p>Nah, not really. Her attitude was pretty crap for basically the whole of last year.</p>
<p>Some bad days may have coincided, but I wouldn't label them as part of the cause, just this generation & their expectations of entitlement.</p> -

<p>Great to hear, and good on you for sticking to your guns. Sometimes tough love is the only answer no matter how shit you feel at the time. Here's hoping for a peaceful and successful 2016 for you and your daughter.</p> -

<p>Snerk. Depends entirely on how many brownie points you have accumulated during the other three weeks. Hormones are entirely unreliable, at any given time your manhood could be pounced on or punched.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Isn't life exciting.</p> -
<p>haha yes, knowing when not to push ones luck is key, anytime of the month! </p>

<p>The brownie option is a tougher sell in my household, but each to their own. Good on ya.</p> -

<p>Never let it be said that Mokey was anything but open-minded when it came to the Hershey Highway ;)</p>

<p>Medical fact: If a woman drinks two glasses of wine a day, it increases the chance of a stroke.</p>

<p>If you let her finish the bottle, she'll probably suck it as well.</p> -

<p>It's all research. And end of last week my American publisher offered me a three book contract for a new line, where there are no limits on the smut. Particularly encouraged: menage and fantasy. Love my job.</p> -

<p>How about an over 40's rugby club with a bunch of sad blokes dwelling on past glories who are all in dead marriages & who, over their mutual love of jam & preserves and cotton shets realise they are actually gays & marry each other?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or start a meth lab.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You could call it "Jamming It In"</p> -
<p>you look 55, you're qualified. </p>

<p>I like round cuddly men. You're first. </p>
