He Offered His Stepdaughter An Apartment But Is Now Kicking Her Out To Move His Sister’s Family In, And Both His Wife And Stepdaughter Are Really Upset

This forty-nine-year-old man and his wife, who is forty-five, have been married for about five years. He also has a twenty-two-year-old stepdaughter, who used to live in student housing while pursuing college.
Now, though, his stepdaughter is currently taking a year off from school. That means she no longer qualified for student housing and needed a place to stay that was still closeby to her school and job.
Coincidentally, he happened to own an apartment that was in her college area– which is a few hours away from his and his wife’s home.
So, he ended up letting his stepdaughter live in the apartment by herself and opted not to charge her any rent.
Just last year, though, his sister, who is forty, ended up losing her job. So, his sister has since accepted a position at a different company, even though she earns a much lower salary.
On top of that, his sister currently lives with her boyfriend and her fourteen-year-old daughter– who is his niece. And unfortunately, they are really struggling to pay their rent every month.
“They like extravagance, so this is hard on an entire family,” he said.
In turn, he is now considering offering his apartment to his sister’s family. After all, they are three people who “actually” need an affordable place to live, according to him.
It appears he already talked about it with his sister’s family, too, since they are already on board with the whole idea.

Then, he spoke to his stepdaughter, revealed the plan, and tried to tell her that it would not be an immediate switch.
Instead, he claimed that his stepdaughter would have some time to find another place before his sister moved in and took over the place.
As you can imagine, though, his stepdaughter was understandably upset. She also asked if she really had to move out and pointed out how it was going to be hard to find different housing.
At that point, he claims he offered to help his stepdaughter find another apartment. But, he underscored how the switch was “their decision.”
It appears that “they”– meaning him and his wife– are not really deciding this together, though. In fact, his wife is actually not happy with the new arrangement at all and has accused him of being really unfair to his stepdaughter.
So now, with both his wife and stepdaughter pretty upset, he has been left wondering if forcing his stepdaughter to move out of his apartment in exchange for his sister’s family was a really jerky thing to do.
Who do you think takes precedence– his stepdaughter or sister? Does it make matters worse that he already offered the apartment to his stepdaughter just to take it away? Is it understandable why his wife is angry at him? If you were in his shoes, how would you handle this situation?
