Well, it’s hard to spank a 30 year old. She’s back with her folks now. Not my problem anymore.
but did you ever get your iron back?

Hard doesn’t mean impossible... nor undeserved.
IMO, if you act like a spoiled kid, you should be treated like one.
The one thing you left out.. How long did it take for the young lady to get pitched out on her ear?
She said she was just "partying too hard," and at the time I didn't know "party" was codeword for cocaine. Then she lost her job.
Then my landlord said she wasn't on the lease and couldn't stay. He didn't want to put her on the lease because her credit report was appalling. So for three months, she crashed on the couches of the friends she'd made "partying."
Finally, the landlord said she could stay if I agreed to a rent hike. I agreed, she moved back in, and about a month later came the first "cocaine in my apartment" incident. I kicked her out but her car got booted with all her possessions in it because it turns out she was getting parking tickets left and right, and not paying them. Her party-buddies were no longer interested in helping her. There was much crying and panic, not just with her but her mom.
I took her back and we started looking for a little studio she could afford. After six weeks, we found one, and I paid the deposit and first month's rent. She moved out and lived there for a few months. I relocated to an undisclosed location (at great expense, from which I have still not recovered financially.)
After four months on her own, she returned to her family in the Midwest, and has been living with them for about eight months.
I did, however, get my iron back, although I lost some of my favorite clothes, and a few DVDs. But I gained some valuable insights about the wisdom of helping those who do not excel at helping themselves.
That’s cute! I think you spelled “delicious” wrong, though you may have done that on purpose...?
LOL!
I’m sorry that your neice ended up being such a drain and a disappointment.
People like that are parasites...They will drain their hosts and never give them another thought.
I’m very sorry this happened to you.
Wisdom hard won, is a treasure.
My prayers for both of you.
