Her Stepdaughter Made A Mess Of Their House With Her Friends Right After Their Housekeeper Cleaned, So She Expects Her Stepdaughter To Pay For The Next Time Their Housekeeper Comes
If you own a home or apartment, you know how frustrating it is when someone else makes it a mess.
One woman recently got upset with her stepdaughter after she invited a bunch of friends into their house who left behind a mess right after their cleaning service came. However, instead of making her clean up after them, she wants her to pay for the cleaner’s next shift.
She’s in her 40s and has been married to her husband for four years. They both have children from previous marriages, including his 18-year-old daughter, who she refers to as “O.”
Her stepdaughter lives with her and her husband full-time. Unfortunately, their relationship had a rocky start, but they’ve become a lot closer over the years.
“I told O from day one that I wasn’t her mom, but if there was anything she wants to talk about or need, she can come to me,” she explained.
“After a few months, we became quite close, and she talked to me about anything she was too embarrassed to talk about with her dad.”
Her stepdaughter recently started college and has been making some new friends. Although she goes to school, she still lives at home, so she often brings her college friends to the house.
This has become an issue for her, as they often leave the house a mess. Although her stepdaughter tends to clean up after herself, it gets bad when she brings her friends over.
She and her husband have been very busy with work these days, so she decided to hire a housekeeper that would come once a week to clean up the house, including her stepdaughter’s messes.

“It is expensive, but I cannot stand it when it becomes too messy for me, so I think it’s worth it,” she said.
Her stepdaughter recently brought her friends over to the house before she came home from work. They showed up about an hour after the housekeeper had cleaned up the house.
By the time she got home, she had noticed that her stepdaughter and her friends had left dirty footprints all over the floor because they didn’t take their shoes off.
They also decided to make pizzas in the kitchen, leaving crumbs and bits of food everywhere. They essentially ruined the housekeeper’s hard work.
She was furious, as she had spent a lot of money to hire the housekeeper, and her stepdaughter had wasted her money. However, her husband thinks she should let it go, especially because her stepdaughter has worked really hard to make those friends, and he wants her to lighten up.
“I can’t let it go because of how much it cost,” she said. “I requested the exact amount I paid for the cleaning service to her Venmo, and she acted all confused on why she had to pay for it.”
When she explained to her stepdaughter that she had to pay her back because it was her and her friend’s mess, she tried to deny that they were the culprits.
However, she had proof from their doorbell camera showing that her stepdaughter and her friends were first to enter the house after the housekeeper.
Now, she’s giving her stepdaughter an ultimatum. Either she gives her money for the next cleaning service, or her parents stop paying for her phone service.
Do you think she was right to request money from her stepdaughter?
