Re: advice on post grads returning home again

Hi , It's not long since your daughter graduated and it's a major turning point in her life - until now, she's had a purpose, her friends around her, educational and social activities . Suddenly all that is gone and she may be feeling at a bit of a loss and a bit depressed. I think the idea of a girly day out is a good one - it might help her to explore how she feels and what she would like to do in a more relaxed way. Is there an exercise or sport you could do together on a regular basis - swimming, or going to the gym - it could help with her moods and motivation.

hIt's not really a matter of discipline now, is it - after all she's grown up.Whowever, you could point out that now she's an adult, she needs to play an adult's part in the household, so how about drawing up a rota for who does what - she must have been used to something like that with her flat mates at uni.

Even if she gets a less good job than she's qualified for, she needs something a bit more than waitressing - if only for some money! Can you help her look?

Good luck - I hope she finds something she wants to do soon.
