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. Every responsible child shouldn't wait for their parents to make these demands from them as long as they are working and earning money, this daughter is just being ridiculous and ungrateful. Contributing $75 to the house isn't the end of the world as it is even cheap compared to living alone, as an adult that is earning money it is only sensible to help your old parents lessen the weight of responsibility and make them feel relieved, it is so inappropriate to watch your parents @60yrs old still paying the bills at home alone for you @20/30yrs. Our parents have sacrificed a whole lot raising us and the only thing we can do for them is to do the same for them by helping with the bills if we still live under their roof.
