    Your feedback please.

    So here's the question...my youngest sister 22 lives with me pays no rent no bills, do I have the right to question her whereabouts?

    No. She's an adult.

    Not helping financially is a totally different conversation.

    No. You have to respect her privacy and individuality. I agree with Kel though.....if she's not in school and working, IMO it would be only fair that she help with bills unless you have already told her she could live there for free.

    When I was younger and lived at home, my father had a strict policy for the kids. If you weren't in school (college) you had to pay rent as long as you lived under his roof. At the time, it seemed unfair. I later found out that he put the money in a separate account and returned it to me/us when I moved out. It wasn't the money he wanted. He was just trying to teach his kids to be responsible.

    Well she works but if something happens to her car I have to lend her money, so I don't know what she does with her money.

    Like kelkel said, financial concerns are a separate conversation that needs to be had. You have every right to ask for help, rent, etc... but this has nothing to do with how an adult spends their time.

    I really don't need the money, but I know I would invest it/ save it more responsibly then her.

    Too vague and in general no. Some exceptions i.e. you found heroin in her room, she is hanging out with someone known to have an std or dealing drugs etc

    it might not turn out too bad if she knows you're asking out of concern. but if you try to restrict her, that may have a different outcome.

    if your worried about her and where she is, just chuck a gps tracking device in her bag/car lol

    also, your house your rules bro, you can make up whatever rule you want, and if she doesn't like it, she can always leave...

    Where are you from? Since we're close in age, maybe I can help you track her whereabouts .

    Just kidding, but no you really can't. But you can pry a little to make sure she isn't doing something stupid. That's my opinion anyway

    This ^^^
    You also have the right to charge her rent and not really doing her any favors especially if you think she is doing something wrong or unhealthy and defiantly not teaching her any responsibility. Basically you are enabling her to do whatever she is doing by no charging her rent so she doesn't have to work and be responsible so think about it from that point of view.

    Of course, since I kind of acquired the dad role in the house I wasn't too sure of what to do here.

    Is not about restricting her of anything but rather knowing where And with whom she's hanging out with.

    She is using my older phone so I can easily track her location if needed
