Boyfriend's daughter driving me crazy

This is going to be crazy long probably, but I'll try to keep to the point.
My boyfriend and I have been together for three years, and I just moved in with him a few months ago. Things are great except that he has a lazy 18 year old daughter who is just...useless.
She doesn't go to school. She doesn't work. She doesn't clean. She doesn't cook. She can't even do her own laundry.
I have flipped out, tried to talk about it, tried to work through it, and ignored it and I'm about to move out over her.

He buys her everything she wants (even spending hundreds of dollars on pot for her and her friends) caters to her, drives her everywhere she wants as she also refuses to try for a license, and won't stop enabling her.
She literally eats $600 worth of groceries a month. I work full time and have my own children who have to have food, clothing, etc and I can't even buy groceries anymore because she literally eats everything!
There is a lot more to all of this, of course, but those are the the main points.

Also, she has friends over ALL the time (both sexes) and I am NOT comfortable with all these people I don't know and trust around my kids. Especially at night.
Is there anyway for me to talk about this to finally show him the light, or do I just give up and find my own place again?

I can't live like this anymore 😭

So your ‘d’p is a shit dad, but she’s the problem? Nah. He’ll never change and neither will she, cut your losses

Move out - I couldn't bear this!

Unfortunately your bf is putting his daughter before you and your kids. I’m afraid this is unlikely to change- you need to rethink your future especially for the sake of your children
