What should I do about my step daughter?

Do what her dad says

Listen to your husband

Stick to your guns and hope she dumps the boyfriend by November.

Support your husband

Let her dad handle it

She needs a 1x4 3ft long across the ass until she learns the rules

Stick your ur husbands guns don’t back down due to her threats

Let dad keep his word!

Follow your husbands advice/desire

Stand by your husband’s decision…leave the money in the bank.

Don’t give it to her

Listen to hour husband.

Stick to your guns. You are her parents and she’s an irresponsible minor. Change locks and phone numbers if you have to, but keep strong.

Stick with Dad on this one!!:heart::heart:

He made a good call.

Stay strong mama and papa x

She’ll still squander it. Sad. She needs to get a job.

Listen to your husband

I would stand my ground!!

Make her wait just as the law says. The father is right. Maybe she will see the truth, maybe she won’t. It’s all on her at 18. I’m guessing the money will last 3 months if that and she will be back demanding more money. Be prepared.

Stick toghter its the only ans.

Definitely let dad do his thing - sometimes the trouble is parents caving to the child - he is holding his ground for her betterment - let him even if it falls he will always know he did the right thing by her

If she’s not in school, your husband, I believe is right!
Maybe living with boyfriend with out her money, will let her, really get to see and know him! And she can get a job! This may help teach her about life -values!

It is actually between father and daughter!!! I’m firmly behind your husband!! I really would have put a later date on it, because of her attitude. Probably 25 at least!! If she gets it soon, it’ll be gone before she knows it!!!

Kudos to your husband,now that’s,a caring father. No money, does the girl know that she probably will not receive anymore money after 18 unless she stays in school. Watch the boyfriend run with no money coming in. Good luck and God bless.

That is hard, but giving her the money early seems like she wins. Your husband sticking to his guns is tough love. I know that there are many circumstances and how she responds to discipline and such to consider. I will pray for you.

Put it in savings an tell her when she gets her head out her rear she can have it cause that boy will just help her blow it an then be gone an she blame them for letting her have it

I believe its another way for the boyfriend to control her if she gets the money. Who knows if it will be used for illicit things like alcohol or drugs. The dad should keep the money safe for now!

Don’t go against your husband. He’s right. As soon as the boyfriend uses all the money he will leave her broken for you to pick up the pieces. Keep loving her and praying she comes to her senses.

If her boyfriend wants her money and her dad don’t give it to her, that guy will leave her. Thank happened to my son he had a GF that she would only look for him when he got pay n then spend all his money on her!!! After we stop him from spending his money on her the girl left him. My son was 17 n she was 18!!! Good luck !! Hope al works out !! Support your husband decision!!! Prayers

There’s a book called: “Strong Father, Strong Daughter” it was recommended to me.

Tough love Is difficult. The boyfriend should support her if he cares about her.

I’d try to be the 1 sane person in this mess. Some day that young lady will need someone when she tries to separate from that horrid boyfriend. She will be glad Dad kept the money safe. I hope.

Back your husband it is his daughter ultimately. Let then hash it out.

Stand by your husband what he has said is right she needs to learn the hard way that being rude and disrasectful like that is not on don’t give in she had a wonderful home she had her money she had good grades and now she’s turned on you both no stand by your husband

Stay in touch with her regularly so she knows she has a place to turn to when the guy hurts her enough that she has to leave. She will need you!!

Dad is doing the right thing. If she wants to act like an “adult”, treat her like an adult. Call the cops on the harassment and let her take you to court :woman_shrugging:t3: seems she’s gonna have to learn the hard way. Good luck :+1: :heartbeat:

Stick to your guns. Called parenting. Good job. I think age 21 would have been more appropriate

Don’t go against dad. Let her throw her fit. I know it’s a lot of drama but she’ll be 18 soon enough, and the real nightmare begins…as in what she does with the money when she gets it, in which you have no control. My advice take it one step further and put the money into a bond that she gets at 18 but can’t touch for another 3 years…

I wouldn’t give her the money, he’s probably harassing her for the money. If she takes him to court the judge would side with Dad. Kids nowadays think they know it all. She will regret doing what’s she’s doing once she realizes Dad was only trying to do what’s right by her. Maybe not now but once she sees how controlling her man is. I know its hard but stick to your guns.

I would do as my husband wanted. But I don’t think it’s going to make a difference. She is obviously been harmed by her mother’s behavior and passing and it will be very hard to help her. I would reach out to her and try to talk to her.

My nieces went through the same thing with their dad’s after my sister past away. Me and my older sister set up my sister’s insurance in trust til they turned 18. Their father continued to handle the trust they began to ask for at 18 but they wasn’t prepared to take it. They questioned me why I left it up to their fathers knowing their intentions was misguided by their friends. When their father decided to give it over to them what a mistake. They wasted it all and now they are older they regret it. They friends use them to party and they paid the price. Lesson learned.

This is what happens when people want to take the “easy way” out. Later, it will come back and bite you if you do this. Let your husband stick to his guns on this. However, he should take the equivelent of what it cost to raise her out of that account. Either put it in another or do whatever, so if she does pull something, she doesn’t get all of it yet.

Stick to it. Out of love for your daughter. These are lessons that will serve her later.

Back your hubby I would also do as others have suggested about the expense list and how much was going to stay with dad for her living expenses I would also tell her if she did not show a lot more maturity by 18 she would not get it until 21 or I would just stop the checks from coming if she quit school. Tough love you have to stick to your words or you will lose all respect from her

Dad should stick to his guns and not give in to her, it’s most likely the boyfriend that wants the money. Young people today always want to take the easy way out she needs to learn that she can’t always get it her way Maybe by November he’ll get tired and dump her and she’ll come to her senses

Sounds like the douche of a boyfriend and your daughter need a little life lesson. Perhaps you should call law enforcement about the harassment and recommend they get a lawyer or arbitrator to help them retrieve the money they feel you are keeping from her. They need to learn just because they want something doesn’t mean they get it. They need to be able to experience the consequences of their shitty choices.

Your husband is right. When your daughter gets sick of this control freak she will need the money to get her life together. Change phone s etc to stop the harassment.

I agree you should support your husband in this. You can not give in. The boyfriend will show his true colors and she will need you then

First of all she is a minor.
2nd the money was for her upbringing.
The Fsther was extremely nice by putting it in savings for her to have a nice start when she became an adult.
She sounds very spoiled and others are right the boyfriend will have his hand in it til its gone.
He will probably dump her then. I understand Dad wanting to protect her. Step mom needs to have his back and present a United front.
Good luck !!
Ot takes some along time to get common sense and grow up.

You kept to your guns all this time.do what you feel is right.hope this young lady meets her family half way.all the best on all sides

Sad but she is 18 and will later regret her mistakes just like every one does. Follow what ever the law requires . And pray for her safety. It really is out of your hands now that she is 18. Now prayer are the most important .

You’re just a stepmom.
You have no jurisdiction on this unfortunately
Let her Dad sort that drama out.
Should you choose to do o anything other tham to let the Dad deal with it, somehow you will be the bad guy and this can ruin your relationship with your husband.
Trust me on that.

If mom caves in to end the drama, what lesson will that teach the child? That she can raise hell to get what she wants. It’s like a little kid throwing a temper tantrum to get what it wants and the parent gives in to end the tantrum. The lesson: throw a temper tantrum and I’ll get what I want. Nope. Never worked with me.
