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.

With the said amount of money that the daughter earns in a month, it's necessary the child start to support their aging parents in one way or the other, because that’s one of the reasons she was raised and be trained in school to be able to help out and to take care of her parents, if this were to be from my side and, the child earns such amount of money, the parents do not even need to tell their daughter what do, because the girl will take up the bills herself without their parents having to tell her, because this is the manner with which people are being raised up here.

Actually its a common sense on which you do need to support your parents not just that because you are earning money but because its somewhat that part of your responsibility. Come to think that you wont be able to achieve those things in life if it werent because of your parents. They are the ones who had worked hard and support you from being a baby until you had become that independent or having that achieve that success in life on which it would be just that ethical that you should give back or having that kind of support on your parents specially if they do get old. Its your responsibility even if we do speak that you had already your own family. I cant just that bare off into those kids or children that turned their back into their parents as if they werent that being mindful about into their situation. Now that we do speak about demanding a rent from their child then they wont be having that kind of approach if they werent that in struggle and as their children then it would be that common sense that you would be that supportive.

In regarding about into the question about parents are demanding rent into their child? its a bit off or something which isnt that i would be doing as a parent. As long they are still single and still under our control then it would be your responsibility for them to raise up but I do agree into to some words that it should be that somewhat having that common sense by their kids on trying out to help out their parents specially if they are getting that older on which it would be that good to look at if they would be having that kind of support and since you have finished up your studies then having a dayjob and other income then it would be just that right that you do need up to look for them at least or trying out to support in terms of expenses or any other things on which that would ease up that stress and burden at least.
