He already talked to her about moving on. Only when she refused to hear it and went off on him again, did he make up his mind.

It's fucking weird to invite strangers over when you have a teenage "daughter" living in your house.

He has a guest in his house. And it’s HIS house. They’re not father/daughter and have never been. He’s done more than he’s obligated to for her. It’s been a year. If you assume she’s been renting he’s already given her an enormous gift.

And even if she is his daughter, it’s not weird. As long as he gives her a heads up, I don’t see why single parents can’t have friends she never knew about. My parents had friends over all the time, and no, I didn’t always know who they were at first.

The idea that once you have kids, your house turns into the kids’ sacred territory and you’re not allowed to have a personal life apart from them where they can see, is SO weird. Is this an American thing? I never see these “rules” anywhere else.

“Hi kid, this is X. She’s my friend/date.” “Hi X. Nice to meet you. I have homework to do. Bye”. That’s literally all she had to say.
