I think posing this as a yes or no is silly, there are many different people and situations
They have a full time job, and go out every nightThis still seems highly situational. Do their parents need assistance with rent? Do they even need him to help with household expenses?
They have a full time job, and go out every nightThey probably should, do the parents want the help? Maybe they know that their child is saving up to get a house of their own so they're not asking them for rent so they can get out of there ASAP
If they are all NEET and just wanna get high all day on my dime, fuck ya they would be charged rent. I refuse to accept and enable a bum lifestyle for my kids.
Just about every other situation, no. I want them to have a successful life, I don't want their money.
Depends on the situation doesn't it?
One thing I noticed about how society accepts different things:
For the very rich, it's never expected that the kids pay rent.
For the poor and working class, it seems conditional.
For middle class families... it's usually expected the kids pay rent.
I dont know about that man. I grew up poor and I was kicked out at 16, just like my brothers were.
That's why I said it was conditional.
Around where I grew up, the poorer families were tighter and the kids would live and work out of their parent's homes until they got married, but us middle class kids were expected to have a job and pay for our own apartments if we weren't working to pay off personal expenses through college.
In cases where there was other issues in the family, yeah the poor kids would be forced out of the house early, where in abusive situations or whatever, middle class kids could generally be expected to be allowed to stick around until after high school.
I live in Southeast Asia. If they live with their parents, they are generally expected to should shoulder some of the living expenses (primarily food, electricity, and water).
If you're the sort to charge your kid rent, hope you're ready to have that same kid charge you back for daycare once you're too old to shower and wipe your own ass.
And if that's the sort of transactional relationship you want with your kid, well, knock yourself out. Can't see how that'd feel particularly fulfilling, though.
Im not about to sit here and financially support able bodied, mentally capable adults. When my kids are adults, its time to wind down my finances, so that my wife and I can retire comfortably and relatively young.
What about people who cant afford to keep their children for free indefinitely?

What does this mean? Would they go bankrupt or lose the house without their kids help?
If you can't afford to house a kid you should probably have reconsidered having one in the first place.
But let's face it; you and I both know the majority of these people charging their kids rent aren't doing it because they have to. They're doing it because they feel like they can.

A mortgage on a house is the same no matter how many people live in it. Food expenses will be a bit higher but I dont see them as something that really would have a material effect on retirement.The money isnt the issue. My kids just arent going to be bums who dont think they dont have to contribute to resources they are using. Boomers and gen x already screwed that up for us. Our kids need to learn social, fiscal and environmental responsibility.
I do not plan on charging my girls rent or kicking them out.
cooking their own meals, cleaning their own clothes etc.I dont get this. Cooking for 2 vs 3 really isnt any extra work. Also for laundry. Throwing a few extra items in a wash cycle doesnt cost me any extra time. Them doing a load on their own does cost more electricity & water though.
I wouldn't demand a certain rent amount like a landlord because that's just dickish. Parents who kick their children out at 18 are also horrible, especially now.Especially when young people, especially women, can end up in abusive situations when kicked out like that.
Well, if youve got grown up kids, then a huge amount of time has changed since you made that decision. Anything could happen in that time. What if, for example, a parent suffered an injury that made them disabled? Or worked in a profession which became automated?

Disabilty insurance is available for a reason. Also why you pick up term life policies once you have kids.
As for jobs being automated. Jobs change all the time. You need to stay on top of it and keep picking up/learning skills. I remember how much shit was take a number from a print out and type it into a spreadsheet when I started working 25+ years ago. All that is automated. So many paper policiesnow all digital.
