I told her that it's a can of worms best left unopened, and that there's no way in hell that I'd GIVE her a place to live, rent free. I had to pay rent when I started out as an adult, and learned to work within my set budget...and that my daughter will need to do the same.

I'm willing to reach out and help financially, if needed, but I'm NOT giving her a house to live in for free.

I'm already putting out a chunk of coin each quarter to cover her college classes and books...
Good call by a great dad.
