No More Minors in Our House

Well, when you take it a step, a day, at a time, eventually you get to the mileposts. Our most recent milepost marks the 18th birthday of our youngest Daughter. She's taking full advantage of her majority by staying out late every night. She will be graduating from high school in June, and then I think we'll be in for a wild summer ride!

Although it feels good to be free of the responsibility of raising children, I am not free from fiscal responsibility yet. It's a strange twilight, where we need to re-assess the roles we will play, and the amount of accountability we will assign to Daughter while she lives here (rent-free, for the moment.)
