[Closed] Charging 23 year old Daughter keep?

To be honest I might just pay my lad lads to move out once they're old enough. Just can't see them moving on these days like we did (18 when I left). It's going to be hell with 2 grown men plus me in the house..... I can see my dreams of a peaceful existence shattering the older they get.

Have I got this right? You're 30, earn £45k and live with your parents and sister in 2 bedroom house? Do you at least get the top bunk?

Every time I've felt down this morning, I've re-read this...
Chuckle!

We packed ours off to uni, we paid for his accommodation, phone, shopping blah blah blah and told him when he's done he's not coming back to live here but he was welcome home for Sunday dinners and Christmas,
He's just finished and got a good degree and not tried to come back, woohoo!!! 😀 when he lived here for free with included catering and laundry services he was a little twonk who thought life owed him a living..

At Christmas I always tried to get a case of wine delivered to my folks as my part of the deal, they chucked on so much food etc.

If you love somebody set them free, even if it means poking em out the door with a stick...

Sounds good, Khani. Our little twonk left the house in a huff earlier because I was only prepared to pay for a mid-range Di (guitar interface thing) rather than the top of the range model that I wouldn't even buy for myself.

My parents have charged me £50+ from age 18 onwards and now 12 years later I'm paying £60 a week.

Well he's educated, knows the value of a pound, can cook a meal from basic ingredients and knows how a washing machine works,
if we drop dead tomorrow he knows how to look after himself, our work is done...
Educator that'd be offer withdrawn and go play a string on a broomstick I'm afraid, I feel your pain..

We've told our little twonk that when he leaves full time education we're leaving the country! He may decide to come with us, but if not he'll be fending for himself. If he's being responsible and needs a hand we'll probably give it. If he's not pulling his weight and being a bit of a twonk expecting handouts we'll probably be less forthcoming!

really?

Wow.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I'm glad I'll never say that to my own children, because that is a monumentally sucky attitude to take.

One could suggest that the implication here - that even though you are grown up with kids of your own, part of your parents' house is still yours - is 'a monumentally sucky attitude to take'.

After years of nagging him my 22 year old nephew now pays my brother £40 a week.
My nephew is a brickie and earns a pound a brick.
His mum gets ups at 5.30 so she can drop him to work.

Did he do a garage on here for someone?
