Anyone else wish they could find this poor girl and give her a hug? And maybe adopt her?

I remember you posting that you had no curfew for your 15 yr old DD
Sorry-some kids will chat and play video games all night long-and DO need a "lights out" time on school nights
Also -the OP is worried about the long distance and driving late at night with snow-a real concern
Could she stay with her Mom on date nights? (Not sure what happened to make her live with you???)

"I also can't work from 2-4 every other Saturday because my step-mom has a 'planned family activity'."
I think there's also a lot of resentment coming from OP for two reasons: SD's mother who seems to be making everyone's life hell, and a DH who is uninvolved. I think she's retaliating against having to parent a child who is not hers because the people who are her parents aren't doing their jobs. Unfortunately, the trickled down affect (all crap rolls downhill) means it winds up at the feet of her SD. I also think OP is resentful because SHE HAS NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. She's made it abundantly clear that SD has no where else to go, so even if she wanted to say no (which I think she does) she doesn't have an option without picking up and leaving DH.
I really hope everyone can sit down and share their true feelings (specifically OP and DH) before SD moves in. Then sit down with SD and provide a united, caring, reasonable set of rules. Think of it as a union contract dispute -- a little give and take on both sides will make for a much happier environment for everyone.
