I can't stand my stepdaughter
I absolutely hate my step daughter.
She is a compulsive liar, she steals from family and friends. People don't even want us to bring her to their house because stuff has came up missing before while we were there. How bout that.
She thinks she is grown which I understand all teenagers are this way. But, she won't do anything to prove she is grown like get a job, wash her butt, or something as little as brushing her teeth daily.
She is in her room coloring a strawberry shortcake coloring book. She's a pack rat. She stores old opened candy in bags that are in bags through out her room.
She sprays this disgusting smelling perfume on and you can smell it all in the back and take my word it doesn't smell good unless you wash your butt.
The main thing that gets me is her mother always wanting to know what's going on over here. For instance my sons birthday she called my step daughter on her cell and I can her her telling her mom what he got and what do you know that started an argument because the mother now wants to talk to my husband and says "well you didn't get our daughter that when she turned 2"
I have been with my husband going on 16 years and this chick states that my kids should have been hers. The drama I have to deal with. And, it doesn't help with the step daughter telling all our business what we do or did who got what and what my husband bought me for our anniversary.
I'm not at all worried about my husband steppin out of our relationship. What I am worried about is what is going to happen to this girl when she turns 18 because she will be leaving my house with a good luck kick to the butt. Her mother is currently in jail and did I mention she was and still is a crackhead.
With my husband and I we are trying to show her a better life than section 8 and welfare or living in the projects or in and out of jail. Her mother hasn't been there for 15 years but now all of a sudden she wants to be a mom.
I feel like my kids and I sacrificed way to much to bring her into a stable family setting.
I'm not willing to let this child run my husband. I wouldn't let my own kids do it and I think that's fair.
Stealing cell phones is a big issue for her and I don't know why. Every time we turn around it's something about her and a cell phone. She tried to get a cell phone in my husbands name and my inlaws friends name. She orders magazines in my husbands name and then we get the bill. She even has gone as far as asking her mothers pimp for money. Which I totally disagree with.
I'm withered and worn and can't stand to hear her breath deep. Any advice for the family meeting I will be holding tomorrow after work would be greatly appreciated.

My mother couldn't stand her in-law... so eventually, she kicked her out. Bad influence and all that.
Also, follow through with K3vlarSnare's advice. It's what we did.
There's something one-sided about this & its leading to an inevitable "you (the teen) are out."
How far away are you from the girl's mother - who you despise so?
You could be a support, a role model, compassionate and kind - the mother in step-mother.
I hope she can see a counsellor to get a bit of respect into her life fast. It sure isn't coming from you.
I think you really need to teach her some discipline. Maybe you might not feel it's right, but if she's going to keep living under the same roof as you and leeching off your money, then you should tell your husband to be more strict with her. Don't let her mother's words get to you, she is of course attached to her daughter and only wants to look out for themselves.
