Stepdad sleepeing with stepdaughter

misguided's picture

Ok, I need your honest opinion. Do you think it's ok for a step dad who has known his step daughter three years and been married to her mom 1 year to sleep in the same bed as his 12 year old step daughter. A couple of facts, the mother was not feeling well and was in her room with the door locked. The step dad went downstairs to sleep and the step daughter came down to watch a movie and they slept together on the pull out couch. I really, really would appreciate your feedback.

Nope...UNACCEPTABLE!!! I've read too many books and seen too many movies. This is completely unappropriate! After she had fallen asleep step dad should have gone to another room! I don't even like when my husband wears boxers around house with her own bio kids!

On the front side I don't see anything wrong with this because their intentions were innocent. However, in a court of laws this could be construed as something very ugly and in the future he needs to remove himself from the situation. He is the adult and he is the one that would be fried if it turned into a problem in the future.

They took out the couch bed and were watching a movie on it? And then fell asleep?
Sorry, I really on't see anything wrong with that. If he had gone and climbed into her bed because his wife was sick, that would be kinda gross.
But I really don't think this is something to call home about.

I wonder, WHY did the mom lock the bedroom door?? That's weird, even if she was sick.

My daughter would fall asleep on a pull out sofa with my dh and I wouldnt think anything of it. Of course we have been a family for 11 years and he is the only father she has. She's 13. I think it just really depends on the relationship here.

I just have to say that no matter how I look at it I say inappropriate! I don't think the sofa bed should have even been pulled out it the first place. Honestly it makes me uncomfortable to have a dad and even his biological daughter at that age in bed with him for any reason. My SO and I just went through this issue with his 10 year old. She has no reason to be in bed with him.

I agree with the others and think it's inappropriate. DH should have made sure SD went to her own room before she fell asleep. Or woke her up once he realized she was still there.

personally I would say its wrong, if they fell asleep on the sofa watching a movie then I would give some leway...but to pull out a sofa bed and get in together is totally wrong, he should have gone to his own bed or woke the young girl up and sent her to bed too, I would not be happy if i was you !
