Woman Tells 23 Y.O. Stepdaughter To Move Out, Gets Evicted After Failing To Realize She Owns The House
It’s no big secret that disputes are inevitable – you will fight with your friends, schoolmates, bosses, and even with random strangers who try to push through you on the bus like there’s no tomorrow. It’s a human thing, and it’s absolutely normal to disagree from time to time – as long as you keep your cool, of course. However, when an altercation arises between family members – that’s a whole different story.
No matter how cliché it may sound or how much simpler it may appear to look the other way and not address the issue, communication is a crucial component of family relations, especially when it involves a third party, in this case, a stepparent.
Introducing new people into your child’s life is already a hard thing to do – and although the author of the post doesn’t seem to have a problem with the woman per se, her father’s approach seems rather negligent and, as it was noted by a couple of community members, perhaps even planned.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to boot the problem out

“AITA for kicking my dad and stepmom out of my house?” – this netizen turned to one of Reddit’s most popular communities, asking whether she’s indeed a jerk for revealing the truth that caused her dad and stepmother to move out of her house. The post has managed to receive over 8K upvotes, as well as 781 comments discussing the situation.
Stepmother doesn’t realize woman owns the house, demands she moves but gets kicked out instead

The 23-year-old began her post by sharing that her family resides in her grandparents’ house. Her father works out of town and her late mother adored being with her old folks; however, she sadly passed away due to cancer over a decade ago. She said that her father would always spend time with her when he was at home, and although she wished that her mother hadn’t passed away, her life overall was pretty decent.

Her grandparents passed away in the last couple of years and she was the only person in their will, meaning that the woman inherited it all: the truck, the money, and the house.
Her father started dating a few years after her mom’s passing, and he refrained from bringing anyone to the house until he met her stepmother-to-be. The woman has two children from her previous relationship, and when things got serious, the OP’s dad wondered whether it’d be OK for them to move in.

It’s been half a year since they all moved in, and now that the stepmom’s with child, she’s started asking the 23-year-old to relocate as they’ll be needing the room for the newborn.
Turns out, the OP’s father never bothered to tell his wife that the house isn’t his, and when he got back from his job, the woman brought the concern up. Apparently, the stepmother wants her to move to the city while she finishes her education. She even offered the OP her apartment at a discount, which is rather odd considering that she’s been living under the OP’s roof for free.

The woman gave her father a chance to break the news himself; however, he never did, so she told the stepmother that she was the owner of the property and that she was not going anywhere. The OP also informed the woman about her dad’s savings and said that he’d probably be able to afford housing, especially if they sold her apartment and used it for a down payment.

Surprise, surprise, the woman ended up being made the scapegoat of the situation as she made her father squander his retirement funds on their potential house. It was also noted that the stepmother wasn’t willing to sell her apartment due to the unstable market prices, but nonetheless, it was made clear that the family should move out before the baby arrives.
What do you think about this situation? Would you handle it differently?

I bet he doesn't. Most people who wind up in situations like this don't save the savings, they just inflate their spending to make up the gap. This guy is a liar, and lazy.

Yes, Dad's retirement plans ended when he chose to have a new family. And I bet Step-Mom asked OP to move out without her Dad's knowledge and/or approval. If she hasn't been so greedy, she might have gotten a happier ending. It's seems she and Dad deserve each other. Mostly feel bad for the little 2 stepkids and the baby-on-the-way. OP seems to be doing just fine. And definitely NTA.

I love it when step-parents get comfortable enough to start acting s**t to their stepchildren. And when bio parents chose their new partners over their kids. /s I think dad was just embarrassed that he was mooching off his kid. I mean come on. A grown man moving into their child's house with their new spouse, stepchildren and a baby in tow. That's a bit lame, isn't it?

OP you're NTA. Please don't sell the house to them. Property is really hard to get and keep. You need to think about your own retirement plan because your dad and his new family aren't going to.

It's her house. How is this even a discussion?? I mean, sure, I'd have asked her, too, if she doesn't want to live in the city, especially if there's a vacant appartment. She's young and it's good to be closer to friends an uni. But IT'S HER HOUSE and she said no. What is going on in some people's minds???

He is the a******. Your dad has the nerve to put you through this. Bringing in her & 2 kids .Then he gets her pregnant. Then expected you to be fine with the whole thing. ABSURD!!! He is a irresponsible jerk. He put them & you in the mess. You are NOT the a¤¤¤¤¤¤¤. He is.

If this story is true, I think that the dad really doesn't have enough savings to start a new life with his new wife, step kids, & baby on the way. He probably thought that his daughter would allow him to stay in the house forever because they're family. I don't think the dad is a poor "communicator." He's probably in debt and cannot afford to move into a new home with his new family.

There's no way I would've allowed a stranger and her two children to move into my house. Just cause I know that it would be some issues and you guessed it she over stepped her bounds and asked when was she leaving so they could use her room as the new baby's room what nerve. This couldn't have been me because I would've told her right then I'm not this is my house not yours Hun so if you need more room move! You're dad is the a hole for not telling her in the 1st place

he might have a ton of savings now. but wait he is going to have to pay child support when they divorce. and probably alimony hold on to your house he is going to need a place to live.

The only a*****e here is the dad. The stepmom behaved well, considering the information she had. In her view, the OP was an adult child still mooching off dad for free rent. She didn't fuss about her older kids sharing a room, and only brought up the possibility of the grown daughter moving out when a new baby was on the way. Even then, she offered alternative housing options and wasn't making threats. Dad was well aware of his new bride's misconception and selfishly never corrected it. His lies made his wife look like an a*s. Which is going to hurt as much as the loss of the house. He is now going to have to spend the majority of his retirement savings on an equivalent property to keep his new family, and will likely need to delay retirement for a good 20 years because that's what happens when you have a new child at his age.

NTA. I freaking LOVE the whole execution of the eviction. Let stepmom build herself up for her own let down. 🤣 Not sure at what point this woman ever thought the house was her husband's, since it was his in-laws to begin with. 🤦🏻♀️ I would feel COMPLETELY out of place moving into a home where my husband's deceased wife and him lived. It's still momma's house!

Dad is upset at himself for getting caught in the lie. His issue to handle it yours. As for his girlfriend, she probably thought ohh I got me a sugar daddy who has this house. She is also money hungry as she wanted to rent you her apartment. Ungrateful. Keep your house, don't sell to them. She doesn't deserve to live in it. I would have started charging then rent and they would also have to contribute toward utilities.

Wow... He wants to retire and has obviously been planning towards it... But he wants to marry a young lady with two young kids and another baby on the way? Truth is... He's never gonna retire with this situation. Kids are expensive. Even if the lady gets child support for her two kids, he would still have to contribute time and money as her partner. Taking on all that responsibility after planning your retirement for years? He has to have real love for her or it may lead to resentment down the line. I wish everyone the best. P. S... You are not the a******... Enjoy your house.
Crafty mama 2 years ago
I'm soooooo happy for you!!!!!! If it had been left up to her you would have been out and paying rent instead of being a homeowner. My dad advised me early on to always have land and equity. I don't know what your relationship was with her and the kids before this but l do hope it is positive because this is going to be a sibling. Dad is actually TA... because he didn't make his living situation clear. It would be easy on her part to ASSume it was his house. If he was that worried about his retirement he should have made plans not to have more children. There is BC for her and a vasectomy for him. There are even these ancient things called condoms. Congratulations and here's to you and a GREAT future!

It sounds like her mother passed while she was young the grandparents took over parenting.Her father sounds more like a part time parent I’m assuming the relationship wasn’t close due to traveling. And with her being an only child and now her only parent I would think it’s hard for her to disappoint him! An only child can fined it emotional and difficult due to the family unit being so small you want to maintain a good relationship you look for approval! Sometimes you don’t realize your over compensating and given there difficulty in communicating she wants to accommodate the wife to please her father. But when you decided to marry the one you love, trust and can communicate with the first major decision is where will we live! His lack of communication didn’t stop him from asking if his new family could move in but it sure stopped him from discussing the arrangements with his fiancé. Once you decided to marry and you have two kids where you will live is a priority!
Marja Berisa 2 years ago
This is by far one of the most poorly written admissions in ages. But what I could grasp led me to think that the daughter might want to sell the house and just be done with it, especially as she doesn't really care for it. Let the dad and her new wife figure out their living situation on their own.

So much Fake Hayiaa. This young "owner" just let her dad move his new girlfriend and kids in and NEVER was it said that she owned the house?
Lakota Wolf 2 years ago (edited)
One might assume that OP expected her father, a grown-a$s man, to mention to his new flame that the house was owned by OP; also do re-read the story and note that OP mentions that she was fine with letting the new family continue living in the house as there was plenty of room for all, and only had issues with the situation once step-mom started pushing to have OP move out. OP also states that she gave her dad a grace period to mention to Step-Mom that the house isn't HIS, but OP's. Bonus points for quoting Uncle Roger in your comment, though!
