Treat her as an adult with responsibilities. You will get the hang of it when she moves in. My husband and I are childless, but my two nieces are like our own. The youngest is 12 and is at our house every other weekend and spends summers with us. My husband and I have never taken a vacation without one of them. The oldest is in nursing school and is a new mother. We are professionals at being an aunt and uncle, but we don't let them run over us. Don't know if this has been any help.
