It sure has worked for me. When I told her that I appreciate the respect and responsibility that she has shown, she started doing more of that.
Last night was a innocent setback. She used to come home at midnight and drunk. It was only 7pm and she was already on her way. Not a big deal at all but I had specifically told her that I am no longer tolerating of being expected to be the baby sitter day in and out without at least being notified with proper warning time. I had to voice my displeasure or it won't mean anything.
