She's in her early 20s, and she has a toddler.

<p>Well, first let's identify what factors are involved in the situation about which you wrote.</p><p>Are you the only decision maker regarding your stepdaughter living with you?</p><p>Is her dad, and your partner, living under the same roof?</p><p>Would you feel any obligation to consult with your husband about his opinion and his way of handling the situation?</p><p>Have you talked with your stepdaughter about your observation and your reaction to the fact of her not honoring your boundaries?</p><p>Consider too that there will be an effect on the toddler, your grandchild, if you kick out your daughter.</p><p>Is your daughter financially ready to live on her own and support herself and her child?</p><p>You certainly have the right to define the terms of what goes on under your roof.</p><p>It is only fair to everyone that as many variables as possible, be considered.</p><p>The conclusion may be that it is in everyone's best interest for your stepdaughter to move out.</p><p>If everyone feels respected and a well thought out plan is developed, then the least amount of hurt and stress, and the most amount of happiness, will be possible from this change.</p><p><br></p>
