Am I in the wrong for not allowing my stepdaughter to have boys over?

If she helps pay bills then you shouldn’t say anything about her having a boy over now if she doesn’t help pay bills then you are totally in the right. But if she helps w bills then she’s pulling her weight as an adult and u should look at it more in a sense that she’s a roommate but make it to where she isn’t bring a new guy every day

yea I think regardless it’s a respect thing especially considering

  1. She has smaller children under that roof (no way in hell am I letting strangers stay over with my younger children in my home and
  2. Don’t think I’d feel pretty comfortable knowing my SD is bringing home different guys and they are banging it out in the next room.
    My older 2 moved out bcuz they wanted to do things their way. I’m curious to know what the father thinks cuz that wasn’t mentioned in here. I don’t care if they are paying rent or a bill…I don’t care if so and so’s parents are ok with this and that…go live with them or her boss :woman_shrugging:t2:
    She can always pay for a hotel too…

As a 23 year old. i say, she cant have boys over unless its a serious relationship (at least 1 year of being together) and if he does stay the night he sleeps on the couch and hes not allowed in the bedroom unless the door is opened.
She either respects that much or a no go at all or she can move out and get her own place.

Nope. Your house your rules. You are absolutely right, if she wants to act like and adult she can do so in her own home. If there are littles around and she’s running through them it’s 100% a no for me. My sons gf lives with us and has for almost 2 years. They are almost 20 and she was kicked out of her house on her 18th birthday. I said no for months and then gave in when the house she was staying at had a ton of illegal activity and she doesn’t do anything like that, doesn’t drink or anything. My son is now in the Marine Corps and she will soon be leaving to head to Cali with him and they will be married. He wasn’t allowed to have random girls in my house before her and they weren’t allowed “private” time for along time because I had a little also. If he was still single and home he at 20 wouldn’t be allowed to have girls in my house either.

U already kinda slut shamed her with this post :woozy_face::woozy_face: and as far as having boys over…if it’s not a steady relationship then I agree with the not allowed over

What one allows in one’s home does not work for others. While I am disgusted by her multiple partners thats my opinion. I’ve let my daughter have her boyfriend over since she was 15. She is now 19 never been pregnant and only had 2 boyfriends since she was 14. One of which she is still with. She is also in college to become an obgyn. If your daughter is 20 it’s her choice what she does with her life. However, I would never allow that many boys/men in and out of my home. I’ve learned from personal experience the more you take away or forbid them the more they will do behind your back.

Personally I never called my kids names and had no problem with steady partners staying the night …but not a different person every night…I preferred to know my kids were safe and to meet the people they were spending time with.
However if she’s working and paying her way at your house id say she has the right to have people in her room . Sounds like she’d be better off in her own place…maybe you could help her look for something suitable

Agree about not letting her have boys over.
Maybe rethink about how you are wording things about her choices if she wants to do it. I mean she’s 20 so she’s an adult.

In getting your point across it’s just simple “I don’t want men I don’t know anything about sleeping in the same house as your siblings.” She needs to see how this would affect everyone and it’s not just about her.

Anyway best of luck.

She is 20…she needs a stable relationship not the random of the day…or get a few friends and an apt and do her thing! I had boys and they had gfs sleepover…usually the girl in a bed the boy on the couch until I got up then sent to my bed…(I get up early) and we did loads of stuff together!! My son was in his own place with his gf and had kids a yr or so later…my point is she needs to respect the house as well as maybe have the thought put out there get some friends and a place…

I mean telling Facebook the amount of sexual partners she has had and in a specific time frame is slut shaming her and you should be ashamed of yourself, not to mention ask yourself why she has felt the need to try and build browns football team ?!

Who knows …but if she is running an only fans …she can afford a place

Your house, your rules. If she wants to do private things, she needs her own private place to do them.

It doesn’t matter if there are younger siblings at home or not … house rules are house rules, and it’s your house … but the fact that there are younger siblings living in the same house means that everybody follows the same house rules. It’s not fair for her to have a separate set of rules, just because she’s older.

In my day, we called it “incentive” to get our own place.

Of course, in my day, the social rule of thumb was to wait to have sex until you were married … and you only had the one partner. Society has changed. People nowadays have “F” buddies, girls get pregnant in their teens, and nobody seems to care. I hear the term “baby mama” and “baby daddy” more than I ever hear the term “wife” or “husband”.

In any case, it’s your home, and she needs to respect you & the other family members by following whatever rules you think are appropriate for your household. If she doesn’t agree, then it’s time for her to get her own place.

Commenting on her number is slut shaming, BUT I also believe that it is your house, your rules, and she needs to respect you. Maybe if she were paying rent I could see her wanting to have people spend the night.

I was 40 and taking care of my parents living in their home, if you weren’t married, you didn’t sleep in the same bed.

I’d say that if she pays part of the bills and it was one guy that she’s in a serious relationship with and you and her father have met him and are comfortable having him in your home around your children I might let him stay once in awhile but no way I’d have strangers in my home with you get children. As you said she’s 20 years old and could get her own place if she wants to. If she’s still living at home rent free though I wouldn’t allow it at all. That’s not unfair if she chooses to live at home with no bills then she chooses to abide by the rules of your home.

Your house your rules. Period

Your house your rules. Even though she is an adult she still lives at home with you. Perfect example: before my husband and I got married, we were living with my mother along with our children. My mom informed us both that we could stay with her but we could not sleep in the same bed, we could not be intimate in no shape form or fashion besides the usual I love you kisses and hugs. Even after we got married, we were still not intimate as we were still living with her until she got help with her chemo treatment. We respected my mothers wishes and rules for her house. If your daughter respects you she would follow your rules. She should definitely want to be a good role model for her younger siblings. Especially if she has little sisters. If she still wants to insist on having her little boyfriends over she needs to get her own place. Sometimes it takes tough love. Sit down and talk to her again. Let her know you still love her but it’s your house and if she wants to behave the way she is then she needs to get her own place. That way she can do whatever she wants.

A steady stream of random guys is an absolute no for everyone’s safety, including hers. If she wants to engage in promiscuity without a steady partner it poses many potential risks to everyone in your house. Even more so in covid times. Tell her to get her own place if she wants to act grown

I do agree with your reasons, the first thing she needs to understand is that yes she is an adult & can make grown decisions by herself, however she does not live alone. And even if she pay la rent it is still your household & your house. So she needs to respect the rules that are being placed or she can easy go and find a place of her own . If she decides to roommate, not everyone will allow her to have people over so those are not just rules that you set lots of people set those rules too. Even when you rent a house or a room. … she just needs to be understanding of that part.

My house my rules =don’t like it move out. Straight no. I wouldn’t even consider changing the rules

I’m just curious… you say you don’t want to shame her but look how you talk about her! Also, you say you and her talk openly, that doesn’t mean to betray her trust and put it on social media for everyone to read. As soon as someone at her work sees this, being social media and a well known page, she’s going to know it’s about her and so are her coworkers. Are you sure that she’s “hooking” up with these randoms or are you assuming? I couldn’t get along with girls coming up so I had many guy friends but I didn’t sleep with them. Now, I get the not spending the night part, but it’s the way you talk about her that I have a problem with. She’s your step daughter so it seems you have an issue from the get go. Maybe the dad needs to talk to her and explain it.

Personally, I would’ve felt it would be disrespectful to invite guys over for “activities” such as those in my parents home. Stick to your guns, it’s your home, you make the rules. If she wants to do things her own way, she needs to find her own living situation outside of your home. I’m with you.

Totally agree with you. You want to do something I’m not comfortable with, it’s my home, get a motel or go to his place. You have younger kids there and that’s not settling a good example.
Has she ever thought about what she’d do ‘if’ she got pregnant by one of her cheap hobbies. Also, as long as she plays with them she will probably have a hard time finding and attracting some one who wants to be more than a fling. I don’t know what her life plans are, but she needs to think about what she wants out of life. Even if she doesn’t want the average American woman’s dream, she still needs to plan. Being a party girl, living with your stepmom will kind of suck as she gets older.

Your house…your rules. Don’t like it???Leave

She can do this in her own place. Would not happen in mine.

I lived with my grandparents when I was in my late teens to early 20s. My grandmother had a rule I was not allowed to have boys over after midnight and I had to be in by 1 AM every night. I hated it and was a complete and total asshole about it I’m sure lol but I did as she asked because she gave me the privilege of having a roof over my head so I gave her the respect of following her rules. It’s your house. She needs to respect your rules and if she doesn’t, she’s old enough to find a place of her own.

We’ll she’s not too much of an adult if she can’t live on her own. Younger siblings or not I wouldn’t want a ton of random dudes in and out of my house, period!
