[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't the PPs open their homes to a freeloading young woman???[/quote]

This isn't a random woman; it is her husband's daughter.[/quote]

DP here. Yes, she's the husband's daughter but she isn't the OP's problem. Why should the onus fall on OP to help her to launch? How can an early-20s young adult be comfortable not having a college degree and no work history to their name? What does she expect to do in her 40s and 50s? Still be camping at the OP's? Give me a break. So many people just slamming OP because she's a stepmom but if the genders were reversed, it wouldn't even be a question. OP is honest about not wanting her life upended at home and yet she gets vilified for thinking about her marriage dynamics? SMH.[/quote]

Gender has nothing to do with it. OP married a man with a daughter who needs her father to step up right now. [/quote]

Rescuing her by giving her a new place to live is not stepping up or helping as he is undermining mom's rules and expectations.  Adult child has a place to live.  Mom is asking her to get a job and she's refusing.  It will not be different at Dad's house.[/quote]
