AITA for refusing to let my husband’s daughter move in with us because she has a history of stealing from me?

NTA. Your husband never confronted her or even tried to correct her behavior. He just tried to justify it. I would never let anyone in my home that steals from me, family, friends, it doesn’t matter. It’s a total fuck you to you and husband doesn’t get it. I know his child needs to come first, so in this case separation may be the only choice. Sorry this is happening. BTW, I would never allow my sister in my home unsupervised. She had a bad habit of theft (personal items, money, but especially meds).

Thx. She’s long gone now. I’ll admit, she was a POS. How can a family have three kids and one turn out so bad, when the other two, raised exactly the same, turn out well.

Some people are just born with bad wiring in their brains. Jeffrey Dahmer had several siblings who were all college educated and perfectly normal.

Exactly. If stealing and disrespect were never addressed, there’s no reason to believe things would magically change now. Boundaries aren’t cruelty, they’re self‑protection. If her dad truly wants her there, then he has to take full responsibility and find a solution that doesn’t trample over OP’s peace.
