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?

It's just a matter of language and we see every child who has a stable job will definitely give money to their parents and that is a child's devotion to their parents.
As long as asking for a reasonable amount for me it is not a problem because we were raised by them and everything was paid for.
School, food and other needs from them so there is nothing wrong when we grow up doing the same thing as our parents did before.
Children who have grown up and have jobs do have an obligation to help their parents and that is natural.

The problem is when parents ask for bills but a child does not have a job so the pressure will be much greater on a child. Within reasonable limits I think it is not a problem when parents ask for bills from a child but the language may need to be simplified again.
