Why are my parents charging me $450 rent at 18?
You are an adult now. Unless you are in college it is time to go. Do you think everything is free? No, you are actually getting a great deal at 450. How long do YOU think they should pay your way in the world? 20? 30? Forever? This is reasonable. You are a grown up now, time to leave the nest, cut mommies apron strings. I am a parent with 3 children. One only a year younger then you. While I intend to support them for many more years it is because they will be in college. I promised them any career they want and the first one will have 8 years of college for her degrees, the second will need a 4 year degree. The youngest is still to young to think about careers. I do not want my children working while in school, but this is MY choice. Many parents want children to pay their own way through college. If my children were to decide to remain uneducated (disturbing thought!) I would not continue to support them. If you want a life of menial work, instead of a real career, the only way you will be successful is though experience, and you are not getting that at home, you need to leave to get that. They are trying to help you achieve your dreams, whatever they are. Those dreams will not happen at home, no matter what they are. You should be grateful, they are doing what they can to assure you can manage in life and not end up as some bum on the streets.

My boyfriend's parents charging me rent?
Please let me know if I’m in the wrong. My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 yrs. He doesn’t want to move out of his parent’s house so we live with his parents. He’s 24 and I’m 23. I have a lot of issues with my parent’s which is why I don’t live with them. I can’t afford to get my own place at the moment. I currently pay $50 dollars a month which is NOTHING compared to what it would cost me to have my own place. He lives a good 40min. from where I work. I pay about $180.00 in gas every 2 weeks. I do have my own bills, school, insurance, cell phone, ect. Now they have asked to pay $100 a month for other bills. Be honest with me is you think I’m being a baby about paying $50 more. I could easily move to my moms and pay nothing but I’m ready to move into my own place with him and he doesn’t want to yet! I feel like in a couple more months they’ll ask me to pay them more money. I don’t know need some advice.
My Parents want to charge me rent?
I'm 21 and I just became a nurse. I live in NY. Throughout my adult life I've paid for my car, my schooling, my phone and all of my bills. I don't even really eat the food in my house. I live in a basement apartment that I share with my sisters but that space does not belong to me, only my bedroom. My parent's want to charge me 600 a month so that they can pay off loans (they've made some pretty unwise decisions with their money) and re-model our kitchen. Also, my sisters who are younger and also working and in college will not have to pay rent. I drive an unsafe car and I need a new one, I'll also still be going to school to further my education (looking at a 20k-30k bill for more school) Suddenly because I'll be making a nice paycheck they are asking me to "contribute according to my means" when really I feel like I am contributing to THEIR means. They have no savings. They have very little, if anything, set aside for me and have made it clear throughout my life that I have to pay for my own wedding, car, school, etc. Please help! I feel like an ungrateful brat but I also feel like they should give me an opportunity to save, at least for a year. I'm willing to pay like 200-300 but 600?! (my parents combined make around 170,000 a year. They invest in times share and new cars instead of saving a little more. They also never see this money because they bought a house out of pocket when the market was high, never acquired real estate. Lost their savings in buying it... they should have rented :/ )
Opinion: Adult children living with parents?
I think it is perfectly fine for an 18 year old to live with their parents. In my opinion an 18 year old is still very immature and is not ready to live on their own responsibly. I can't stand when parents think their child should be out at 18. At that point they have just finished high school. If they go off to college they will probably need to go back and live with their parents afterward for a bit until they have a good job and have saved enough to live independently. If they are working right out of high school then they still will need some time to save to get on their feet. Parents should help their children out to a good head start so they don't have to get out there and stuggle in the world. As for charging rent, well I personally wouldn't because I want my children to always feel that my home is their home. I guess it depends on the situation though. If you have a kid who is irresponsible and just bums around then yeah he needs to be taught some responsibility.
