AAAAA, she did have a responsible role model when she was growing up. She had YOU. And you have no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about expressing your opinion about taking her in. That's the way you feel about it and you are entitled to your opinion. She was being held to a different standard than your children and she knew it and was taking advantage of it.

As for your husband, he needs to realize that if that girl is to be one of your children, so to speak, she needs to be required to behave in the same manner as one of your children. It is never too late to teach things to people, even if they are 18, 20, 23, 25 or whatever. They can learn and they can change their ways. People adjust all the time. Feelings sometimes take a little time to change but actions and behaviors can change as needed.
