My question stems from a 2023 article of a woman who charged her daughter $75 per month to add to their bills since she now works.

Generally, working-class children who stay with their parents do so to be able to save up enough money to start a fresh journey in life. Although it's still cheap to contribute to the bills like paying rent, buying groceries, etc compared to when they live outside their parent's house. But, young people like the girl in the article find it outrageous. Going through the article I saw responses from parents who admit they do the same thing. Do you think it's fine as a parent to demand bills such as rent from your working-class child because s/he stays in your house?

N/B: this thread is not exactly what happened in the article above.

It is conditions that makes the parents to demand money from their children that are working. It is the parents duty to provide for the children but when the parents don't have any money and the children are working and receiving salaries monthly the children can assist their parents with the little help that they can offer.
Parents or guidance that mostly demands help from their children are the ones who's father are no longer with them.
Parents request help from their children is not bad but the parents should not force their children to do something that they can not do.

As a parent then it would be that too much if you are really that having this kind of behavior on which trying out to demand some cash or funds from your children. Just like on what been said
that its not on their responsibility on paying up some bills or whatever it would be. As long it would really be that talking or speaking about responsibility then as a parent then it is really that
your thing and not theirs. If the time comes that they do have their own job then just wait for them to give out or offer that they would really be paying up some bills inside the house.
It would really be better to have something like this on which this isnt something stressful on your part as a parent but if you are really that trying out to obliged them then
it might really be giving out that negative impact or impressions towards things.
