[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh- it’s the stepdaughters house too and if dad doesn’t care then don’t be the bad guy- frankly it’s only a few weeks and it’s not worth it[/quote]

No , no it is not. Is her name on a mortgage or deed? She is a child. I am not a step parent just a parent.  So I have no guilt in saying this is BS. She is manipulating this situation. She wants to be with him so badly get out and get married. Oh that 's right she wants guaranteed shelter and food and tuition etc... Why are so many of you letting this child behave like this? You don't get adult rights until you are out and adulting. 
My husband was kicked out of his parents house at 35 . Why ? He thought a midnight curfew for a 35 year old was absurd. But  those were the rules in their house.

(FTR he moved out . Bought a house. Parents loved it. Bought his house and he moved into an apartment.LOLZ). [/quote]

It is not worth fighting with her DH about it, though.  If it will cause a marriage problem if the girl leaves or gets upset.[/quote]

But it’s not just 2.5 weeks. Being so lax and making the girl feel like this is her house and she gets to set the rules will encourage the girl to stay there summer after summer with the same attitude and also she will be more likely to boomerang. If she wants her boyfriend to be able to come and go whenever she wants,  she needs to get her own place as she gets older. Hell, forget the step parent dynamic - even most same age roommates don’t want a boyfriend there twenty four seven without him paying rent. [/quote]
