Enabling a kid with a place to live and a used car when she walked away from her source of income of her own volition? This is EXACTLY the kind of thing you detest for crying out loud. Suddenly it's OK because it falls under the parental love/compassion umbrella? A capable 26 year old adult with a law degree?

Chad. Really?
I'm saying I wouldn't fault him for that, and I don't have a 26 yr old to draw an exact parallel. I certainly wouldn't give a room long term, and I'm sure she traded something in on the car she has now. I think selling her car and getting something comparable to what she had is fair, then let her go get gas and insurance.

Also don't confuse my views on society's responsibilities, for my views on family. Two very different things.
