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?

Carrying responsibility is a very complicated thing, which require long time  learning and Cool experience before doving into real life. To me, this is a right upbring shown by the mother to her daughter as this act will teach her daughter to be financially independent.

In addition, wrong expression from the mother may result to misunderstanding. Before this action, cool communication and interactive conversation should take place between both parties for the mother to properly express the usefulness of her decision that should end end with mutual agreements. Finally the mother should not impose it on her daughter as it may be mis leading.
