[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - she has been staying with her mom. Her mom has been pressuring her to get a job, and I think that's wearing on her. I think she just wants to escape the pressure at her mom's.[b] I do think she should get a job, but my husband wants to give her a little leeway to figure things out [/b](he hopes she will re-enroll in January). [/quote] This is aHUGE red flag. If you and your DH are not on the same page about the conditions of her living with you, it will destroy your marriage. You’re going to be the odd one out when your DH agrees with SD that she doesn’t need a job and can stay forever. It will only get harder after she obese in. Figure out exact expectations BEFORE she moves in with you. It’s a good idea to write this down and make it something her mom, dad AND you agree to. I also think it’s a bad idea to undermine her mom by letting her move in with you without a job plan. Both parents need to be on the same page. [/quote]
