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?

this thread is not exactly what happened in the article above. I see this as the fault of parents who fail to educate their children. Because, if they succeed in educating their children, even without being asked, their children will help their mother, because it is only right that children are devoted to their parents. Moreover, living with their mother, of course if children are educated well, even without being asked, they will be useful to their mother.
From this incident, we must make this a lesson, especially for those who already have children. Educate and love your children sincerely, do not consider children as our investment (Later, when they have an income, they must "pay" you). What we need to understand is that children are a trust, who will accompany us in old age if in my religion (children who will take us to heaven). As parents, start working hard and saving from a young age so that you can be independent and have a pension fund when you are old so that you do not depend on your children. Don't be selfish, children also have needs.
