Adult step daughter drives me insane!

Absolutely!! When my boys graduated from high school they had a choice, they either had to be in school full time, or working full time, they're now adults, and it's our job to teach them how to stand on their own two feet. If they chose not to go to school, they had to pay a token amount of 'rent'.

We finally kicked our oldest out when he was 20 because he wasn't doing either. He's learned to work and support himself. The younger two have both gone to school and worked since graduation.

Her father needs to make her stand up and be an adult, be productive, otherwise, what's the point to her life?

I think its fair. She is an adult and needs to be treated as an adult. Tell her to get a job and pay rent or get out.

I don't agree with charging your children rent... that defeats the purpose of letting them live at home. But she should be working to support herself in every other way.... nothing wrong with that!!

Welcome back

i feel for you in the same boat but its hard to disscuss with you partner

I don't think I'd be expecting her to pay rent because, in my book, she should no longer be living with her parents at age 28. She needs to pack her things and find somewhere on her own. Time she learned to stand on her own two feet. The longer she stays with you the less likely that becomes. Allowing her to stay is NOT doing her a favour.

It is fair and right. However this is you husbnd's child and he may not agree.
