Wrong......I have the *right* to have control of what happens in my household.......because everyone agrees to that. My 19yr old abides by the general consensus of the household because it's the correct thing to do. If he had his own place he'd live differently, without doubt, just as I did when I left home.
My children get to use their money as they wish, self supporting or not...because it's THEIR money. If I considered it MY money, they wouldn't be using it in the first place.
It's nothing to do with what the *authorities* say, it's to do with how you run your family and what respect you have..and why.

And here that does not include doing things I consider unsafe. I used the analogy of throwing away a pack of cigarettes I found in the car deliberately. Because I consider that unsafe. Despite the fact that the money for those cigarettes was earned by my 21 year old tutoring other college students, she doesn't get to bring them into my home.
If she insisted on doing it? Then yes, she would need to move out. So in this way I am controlling her belongings.
