[quote:Anonymous Coward 39073730:MV8yMjIzMDU4XzM3Njc4MjA1XzMyNTFFMkQ1] Type a list of rules NOW. Send them to her before she comes. If you don't have rules, people make up their own (that's why the banks do what they like these days) So that she knows what the rules are. Print them out and put on the fridge eg You pay for .... TV is off by .... MAKE SURE SHE CAN'T USE YOUR PHONE - it's not just teenagers - a man I know who used to stay at rich people's houses ran up a $10,000 phone bill he never paid. More rules - Let's see... List of chores for her to do. Seriously. Think worst case scenario, just in case. [/quote]

i'm a 40 yo woman with a nice little beach house. a 19 year old cousin who i've never met is coming to stay with me until she finds a job. (apparently she didn't realize that college wasn't free). i'm doing this as a favor for my mom who can't take her in. the kid's parents and grandparents are all hot messes and can't take her in either. she was living with her boyfriend all during high school, but he's moving to mexico with his family.
it's been a long time since i was a teenager, and when i was one ,i always had a job and put myself thru college pretty easily.i partied a bit, but in general was a very good kid.
(but the 90's were a TOTALLY DIFFERENT TIME than now)
HOWEVER, I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT 19 YO'S ARE LIKE NOW.
what can i expect from her?
all i know about her is that she's not very bright and has been called "hard-headed" more than once by my mom.
please give me all the teenager advice you can give me.
i'm kind of scared.
HELP!
