So I have a 19 year old step daughter who is visiting for a month. She walks into the house, does not utter a word of greeting to me, all her dirty dishes she piles into the sink and leaves her utensils lying around in the living room. Just plain rude!!! We have very little conversation. I am waiting until she leaves to talk to my husband about his daughter's behavior...I don't want to be seen as the angry step mother.

Early this morning at 2:30 am I was dragged out of a deep sleep as I hear a knocking on my bedroom door which I automatically assumed my 10 year old daughter. To my surprise and annoyance, it is my 19 year old step daughter asking for her Daddy as she had a really bad dream. :O

The next thing I know he is leaving our bed to go comfort her back to sleep. Are you kidding me...She's 19 years old for God's sake!!! :jawdrop:
My 10 year old daughter with whom she was sharing a bed was highly annoyed as she was also awaken from sleep and made her way to my room.

For the whole day, I had to hold my tongue. What the hell does a 19 Year old need comforting for if she had a bad dream???? I don't want to be unreasonable and I don't want to deny my husband the opportunity to be a father to his daughter but last nigh was highly inappropriate.

I think it is sick way for my step daughter to try to gain attention and is somehow rooted in deep seated jealous attempt to draw her father away from our matrimonial bed. This is not the first time she has woken us up in the middle of the night but this is the first time that he has left our bed to comfort her.

Am I being unreasonable? I think not.
