[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has joint custody with his ex wife where one week he has her for three days, the next week four days. This arrangement works for us. My stepdaughter asked if she can move in with us full time. Her mom remarried last year and she and her new husband recently bought a house. SD says when she's home they make her stay in her room. She's only allowed to come out to eat, use the bathroom, shower, or go to school. Even if she invites her friends over, she has to stay in her room. She said her mom ignores her for the most part and only cares about the husband. I feel bad for her, but I can't help but think some of this is my SD being a little dramatic since her mom's attention isn't 100% on her anymore. Plus to be honest, I love the arrangement that's in place now and I don't want to change it. DH is all for her moving in so I'm torn. [/quote]

I have the right answer but you will not like it.  You don't get to make that call.  SD wants to move in with her DAD; your presence in the house is only coincidental in her eyes.  So, your DH gets to decide whether his daughter can come and stay. This is between dad and daughter, not daughter and you.  The choice YOU get to make is whether to stay with dad and daughter. Sorry that's the truth.  [/quote]
