Daughter’s new job sparks independence

DEAR HARRIETTE: My 20-year-old daughter recently got her cosmetology license and has started working at a salon. She’s excited about her new job and the independence it brings, but now she’s telling me she wants to move out and get her own apartment. She says she’s ready for the next step and wants her own space to feel more “grown-up.” The problem is, I’m not convinced she’s fully prepared for everything that comes with living on her own.
