| I have a 17yo step-dd refusing to wear a mask. I have to remind her constantly to bring a mask with her and she does not care at all. I am concerned for my safety and safety of my kids. Her mother is high risk, but she just does not care. She started going to malls, restaurants, and house parties. I am afraid she will be bringing COVID home. |

| Where is she getting her money and transportation? |

| She doesn’t go out with you and when in the house with her, make sure to social distance from her. You can only control yourself in this situation, not your step daughter |

| What does your spouse/her parent think? I would be concerned too, but as the stepmom you have limited options. |

| Stop letting her in the house. My guess is that you have a husband problem though. |

+1. She's 17, OP. I have a 16 YO and know how difficult this can be, but she's still a minor. This is not a simple annoyance like you don't like her short skirts. No mask, no going out. No mall, no friends. That's the rule. And I would say no house parties anyway, because you know the people there aren't wearing masks or social distancing. |

| So send her home to her mom. |

I can't. She lives with us; mom is not a functioning adult due to multiple health issues. |

From her savings (hard to find work right now due to COVID), we provide her with a car. We do give gas money during school year obviously. |

This. Stop giving her money or car access, if you are |

If she won't wear a mask, she won't be welcome in my home. Full stop.
And I'd take away the car you provide her with and stop giving her any money. This is life or death. |

Well Jesus Christ then take away her car keys! |
