G'morning.

I just joined this group looking for some advice. My
ex-wife & I have joint custody of my teenage daughter
who just turned 18 this past week. Sometime last fall,
she broke curfew at my place & I punished her
accordingly. Now she's broken curfew at her mom's. My
ex-wife wants to punish my daughter & wishes that I
'match' the same punishment at my place.

What is this "punishment", exactly? *I'm curious how you'd
punish an 18-year-old.
What a terrible idea and word, "punishment" - it chafed me
to even type it.

An obvious punishment for not coming home on time on one
Friday night would be prohibition on any social outings for
say a week, just as one would punish unsafe driving by
taking away the car keys for some period of time. If the
rules chafe, the 18yo can think of it as incentive to
become financially independent and move out.

assuming the 18 year old was interested in "social outings",
i suppose.
what if she has a job? how do you ground her?
