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.
