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.
I don’t see anything bad in that, I think it’s a normal thing which children are suppose to do. If you are staying with your parents, and you already working, you don’t have to wait till your parents tell you to drop some amount of money before you should do that. For you to have a job, then you already an adult, so it won’t make sense to be at home, and you not making any contribution to the family, your parents are still the ones feeding you, and you not making any contribution, it doesn’t make sense to me.

If you already have a job, then you shouldn’t even stay with you parents, you are suppose to stay alone, and you will take care of yourself, you will have to feed yourself, and shelter yourself, but since you still staying with your parents, and they are the ones feeding you, at least you are suppose to have a specific amount which you are going to be giving them maybe every week or monthly, at least that’s really going to help a lot.
