Hello all, recently my step daughter moved in and no one even asked me what I thought... One day I got home and she was in the spare bedroom and was unpacking all her stuff and moving my stuff. I didn't know what to say or how it happen. Could someone please tell me how to approach her without her feeling not wanted. I really don't mind that she moved in BUT I wish I would of been informed and now she expect her daddy to do everything for her she's 24yrs old... why doesn't she grow up...

You are the one who needs to grow up. If you're uncomfortable with the situation, you need to tell your spouse. She might just be staying temporarily; and the sooner you find out what's going on, the sooner you can talk about what boundaries are fair in the house and under which conditions she may stay. She might be having a hard time or something; and while you're right that daddy can't do everything for her, she has the right to go to her family if she needs help getting back on her feet.

I don't think its her you should be talking to its her Dad. He is the one that should be talking to her about it and sorting it out. If you do it you will turn her against you which isn't what you want from your step-children. Tell your husband what you feel and let him deal with it.
