Rad se bavi konceptualizacijom i procesom pregovaranja o pravima i obavezama kćeri-postadolescentkinja u njihovim porodicama porekla. Sve više mladih Evropljana i posebno mladih Slovenaca ostaje sa roditeljima u postadolescentskom periodu (pa i nakon toga), ili svakog vikenda dolazi kući iz grada u kojem studiraju. To znači da dve generacije odraslih žive zajedno uistom domaćinstvu, što ih stavlja u situaciju da pregovaraju o pravima i dužnostima mlađe generacije u različitim oblastima, od veoma ličnih sfera (npr. izgled) pa sve do dalekosežnijih životnih odluka (npr. životna situacijanakon studija, odlazak iz roditeljskog doma). Istraživanje omogućava bar delimičan uvid u procese pregovaranja o pravima i dužnostima u porodicama sa kćerima postadolescentkskog uzrasta. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću polustrukturisanih intervjua obavljenih u jesen 2006. godine u Sloveniji sa 70 prvorođenih kćeri u periodu postadolescencije i oba njihova biološka roditelja. Ispitanici su odgovarali na zatvorena i otvorena pitanja koja su se odnosila na četiri vinjete sa kontroverznim situacijama. Odgovori su omogućili sagledavanje konceptualizacije prava i obaveza postadolescentkinja, distribuciju moći odlučivanja i načina rešavanja takvih situacija. Rezultati su pokazali da su kćeri-postadolescentkinje veoma zavisne od svojih roditelja u različitim oblastima. Ispostavilo se da je savremena slovenačka porodica sa kćerima u ovom uzrastu spremna da pregovara: obrasci unutarporodične komunikacije idu od tradicionalno zasnovanog naredbodavnog stila u kojem se deca moraju bespogovorno povinovati (mada se manje od 10% roditelja oslanja isključivo na upotrebu autoriteta), pa sve do obrasca otvorenog, aktivnog pregovaranja gde je prisutna ravnoteža moći a postizanje konsenzusa se smatra veoma važnim.The article deals with the conceptualisation and negotiation of post-adolescent daughtersć rights and duties in their families of origin. More and more young Europeans and particularly many young Slovenians are staying with their parents in the post-adolescence period (and even later) or come home from their university city every weekend. This means that two adult generations live together in the same householdso they have to negotiate the rights and duties of the younger generation in different areas, from very personal domains (e.g. appearance) to more far-reaching life decisions (e.g. the post-study life situation, moving out of the parental home). The study provides at least a partial insight into the processes involved in the negotiation of rights and duties in families with post-adolescent daughters. The data stem from semi-structured interviews conducted in autumn 2006 in Slovenia with 70 first-born post-adolescent girls and both of their biological parents. The respondents answered closed- and open-ended questions referring to four vignettes suggesting controversial situations. The answers allow a view of the conceptualisations of post-adolescents\u27 rights and duties, the distribution of decision-making power and the way of dealing with such situations. The results show that post-adolescent daughters are very dependent on their parents in various areas. It turned out that the contemporary Slovenian family with post-adolescent daughters is prepared to negotiate: patterns of intrafamilial communication range from the traditionally grounded commanding pattern where children have to obey unequivocally (but less than 10% of parents resort to the bare use of authority), to an open, active negotiation pattern where the balance of power is more equal and the achievement of consensus is very important
