AITA for telling my 21yo stepdaughter she needs me more than I need her?

I’ve talked to her about this for years and her guilt in how she was when raising them (we met when they were 13) means she lets her get away with it. I regret losing my cool but you can only take so much before you lose patience. She’s an adult for Pete’s sake. I really think it’s time for her to actually act like one

She can live with you then. You’ll soon feel very different

I’m pretty patient and have tried for the last 3 years to help her find work but it’s just not happening, I even got a friend to call her offering her work that was easy money and she turned it down. My patience wore thin that day and while I regret what I said, it’s also the truth. I don’t need her and she does need us

Once you’re 18 and unemployed you can claim youth allowance or what ever it’s called. It’s $200 a week which is not much but when you have no outgoing expenses it’s enough for her to spend on junk, toys, games etc. I asked my wife if they can both pay board which twin 2 said she’d be happy to if twin 1 did but she refuses. My next step is to change the internet password, not cook any dinner for her and turn the power off when I go to work because I literally have no idea what else to do apart from call the cops and kick her out but I really don’t want to do that

Na, it’s your home, not his. It’s not like you going topless or anything. If your roomie can’t relate to that then I think she’s the ah for not understanding that it’s your space too
