My stepdaughter moved in with us a year ago, shortly after I married her dad. She is 17. I had 2 biological kids still at home ages 17 and 16, a boy and a girl. When she 1st moved in my kids were ok with it, they enjoyed her at times. But it didn't take long for my son to dislike her because she kept getting mad at him over every little thing and throwing stuff at him. Then he would keep trying to talk to her but she would refuse to, she would stay mad at him for a couple of days and wouldn't talk to him at all. He finally got to where he just pretty much quit doing things with her. Eventually my stepdaughter and daughter got close until SD started trying to cause problems between my daughter and her boyfriend. Now neither of my kids like her very well. The other day my kids and I were with my mom and my kids started telling me how they don't like having her there and they don't know why she just don't go live with her mother and just come visit every other weekend like they do with their dad. They say it has gotten to where it ruins their day everytime she comes in the room where they are, especially when they have friends over or my daughter has her boyfriend at the house. They say SD won't ever give them time alone with their friends and she always has to be in the middle of everything. My kids are always nice to her and let her join in but they want time with their friends like they used to have without SD always hanging with them. I'm just not sure how to handle this. If I say something to my husband I'm afraid he will take it the wrong way and get angry at me and my kids. If I say something to SD or if my kids say something to her she will run to her daddy and make a big deal out of it then he will be angry. I understand how my kids feel, all of a sudden there is this extra person who has moved into their home and won't give them their space with their friends. I hate this so much. I also wish she would live with her mom so I could feel I have time with my kids without her always being around, those times are so few and far between now. Before she moved in everything was just fine, she would come every other weekend or her dad would go pick her up for the day and do something with her, now me and my kids can't hardly get away from her. If I had realized I would be having to raise someone elses daughter when I got married and my kids would have to deal with this then I would have waited until she was out on her own to marry this guy. I don't want to be mean here, I just want my home with my kids living here. Maybe it would have been different for my kids if I had married this man when they were little and they had grown up with SD but they didn't grow up with her and I didn't raise her so it makes for a very difficult situation for me and my kids. If anyone has any advise for me I would love to hear it!
