Inspired by another post: If/would you make your child pay rent/bills? If so what age would you start?

They can learn financial responsibility in different ways. I’ve never heard of a teenager being charged rent before 🤔 and my teenager I mean a child still in school.

We don’t charge our kids rent unless they choose to not go to school after they graduate. However. Luxuries have always been on them to pay. So cell phones. Driving a car. Car insurance. Those are luxuries that they pay their portion of the bill for.

I say when they start working , that’s when they can buy their own clothes and pay for their own cell .

Yea I would definitely make my ADULT child who still lives with me Pay rent. I started living on my own when I was 17 yrs old and paying my own rent & living independently & it set me up for success, I think living with mommy and daddy as an adult without paying rent sets ppl up for failure. Ppl need to know that living ain’t free. During my single days, I remember being so turned off by so many who still lived with their parents & had no clue of how to be adults cuz their parents took care of the rent. Smh ick

Only an adult child would I charge rent.
And it will likely be for a very short time b/c the goal is to be independent and on their own. No 30 yr olds living in my basement lol.

Never. My home is always their home too
