Ugh!!!
Change the locks after she leaves, maybe?
She MUST come to understand that the rules are the rules are the rules. She's lucky it isn't a century ago, a sleepover like that would have ended in a marriage or a whipping (not in favor of the first, but the latter might do her some good...).
What is it about kids these days? Of course, I say that and I'm 27 years old (so kind of in her generational pool) and living with my parents... But when I moved back in with them from having lived with my now-ex-boyfriend, I didn't take anything for granted, and I still don't. Granted, my room is a bit messy... but only my room. Otherwise, everything else in the house is spotless, I put all the dishes into the dishwasher or I put them away, I do my own laundry and everything. If I don't have clean clothes, I've no one but myself to blame - and I've yet to run out of clean clothes! Even Cera and Ducky have their neat little niche in the house, and I keep it as clean as possible - bringing them home was probably the biggest adjustment for my parents, since we'd been without any animals in the house for years and years. But I made them a promise that I would keep them clean and minimize any smells, and they've never had cause for complaint - in fact, my Dad loves going and visiting with the girls and says he especially adores their tiny feet.
Julia sounds like she's grossly immature, and probably thinks that adults will always forgive her or pick up after her, to the point where she never has to exert herself or follow any rules. What a rude awakening when she finds out she can't act like that in the working world without consequences!
