No one imagines their stepkids to be complete pia but sometimes it's just like that.

Here is a list of typical pia type of skids:

• Clingy
• Needy
• Lazy
• Messy
• Loud
• Whiny
• Demanding
• Attention-seeking

Boundaries conversation is the first line of defense. Depending on how that goes then sometimes evacuating is the best remedy. Then disengaging, and grey rock method are good coping alternatives.
