I think you stated she was 21? Well, there is a lot you can do first tell her that she is AN ADULT and state exactly what you said up there your home is not a hotel. From what I gather she lives with you therefore rules should apply. I do not know the whole story as far as, does she have a job? Does she pay rent? Does she give her part on the bills? If she lived out on her own those would have to be paid by her right? Or she would be out on the street? After all she is not in high school anymore, she is not a teenager anymore. There has to be a time that your daughter has to take on being an adult and what that means. And living at home sometimes can delay your kids in doing that, because well that is home, that is where the parents are, and it is her safety net. And as long as she has that safety net to fall into at 5am I am afraid you will be putting up with this for a long time.
