What age should a 24 yr. old child have to pay parents rent or find her own place to buy or rent?

My husb. & I paid for all of our eldest daughter's 5 yr. college & when she wanted to become an exchg. student to Japan, we paid for airfare, housing, tuition, books, etc. for that endeavor. She has since graduated from San Jose State Univ. with honors, (we paid for 100% of her college, books, etc.) She continues to work at the temp. job she held down while attending college, but now works 40 hrs. a week. When I went into my bank where I do my sole proprietorship business banking, the bank manager inquired about my eldest child & asked where she is working since she had graduated over a year ago. When I shared with her the situation she stated that B of A had the best International Banking program around. She shared with me that B of A wouldn't take a person into their Int'l dept without any banking experience. With that, she offered to 'create a position' just for our daughter & speed her thru a special training program that she would create, so that our daughter would be easily selected by Bank of America after a year's training by her. The bank mgr. knew that our daughter's degree was in International Business with a minor in Japanese. The bank mgr. then stated that B of A had the best International Banking program. I was elated & went home to share the great news with my husb., who then was also elated. When I shared this "great news' to my daughter, her only replyt was, "Well, I dunno know." I was speachless! I immediately went to share what had transpired with my husb. and he was also in shock. That was over a wk. ago. What should we do? She is also driving my husb. car and he is taking the bus to work, which takes him twice as long to get to work, as he doesn't want her to have to walk or take a bus. I think we've created a monster child/adult. What to do you think? Any suggestions of how to rectify this situation? BTW, we have two other children (one who is in his 3rd yr. of college & another child in her first year of college. Thx. for any constructive suggestions.

If people who live in america hate it so much...?

have you studied psychology? There's a period of childhood development called "oppositional bonding." Its around 2 or 3, when children love to say "no." Doesn't matter what you say to them, or how you try to reason with them. "No." Most liberals are cognitive children and just react with a "no" against their parents/authority figures. You can't reason with them.

What am i feeling? Need help from experienced person?

well,you obviously still like her,and im not speaking only friendshipwise,your reactions are giving it all away,you dont want to lose her as a friend,but obviously you think deep down you still want it to work out,and not getting the attention u used to have angers you because its getting you further from your objective,and if you wanna talk with her well youve gotta be straight forward,tell her that yeah it does fustrate you when she ignores you,and yes also when she speaks of other guys cuz its only a normal reaction,tell her you still maybe have feelings for her and you can be jeolous at some points,if you wanna get over her you should take a break and go out,change your mind,try to turn the page,or youre just hurting yourself if you keep waitting on her like you do,tell her that as well without pushing her away,just that you need time to clear your thoughts,and after well youll see how things turn out to be,you can still be friends...and when you talk to her use the word I, and not U,or she will feel like you are attacking her,and make sure shes sober as well..lol,well i hope this advice will be usefull to you...good luck:)

♥♥♥ What you SOW, so you REAP!!!! Does this maxim really work?

you lost me in the technology part, but yes, good and bad things will come back to you.. if not eventually, much much later in life. some people may not believe in karma, but if you really look into someone's life, the things they done will come back to them, one way or another. may not be so obvious and may as well be hidden, but the pain and the joy that comes back to a person is inevitable.

Do you believe in free will or determinism, and how does it affect your political standpoint?

I used to believe in determinisn with all the prophecy and dogmatic galactic battles between good and evil, the world was much simpler, I was conservative, now I dont believe any of it and Im a centrist libertarian.
