None! Treat them as renters and charge them rent! I am shocked that most parents (not accusing you) allowing their children to work and not pay rent. If you like the rent they pay can be put in an interest bearing account and when and if they want to marry, travel, etc., you can give them the money. Also, you are not "maid service" for them so treat them as renters and other than sitting down at the dinner table as a family (the kids should help make dinner too or at least do dishes) they are renters only! If your kids are going to College that is a different matter as far as paying rent, but they should be taught to be individuals and do chores around the house, keep their room clean, do their own laundry, make their own lunches and if they want extra money let them go out and work for it!

The Responsibilities of Children to their Parents?
This is a general question, and I'll answer it from a legal standpoint. It is the parent who has the responsibility to ensure the needs, health, and well-being are met for their children. Children's responsibilities are generally limited to going to school and abiding by the rules that are set by their parents. They also have the responsibility of following the rules of the school and other structured settings. And they also have the responsibility of respecting adults, especially those who are charged with the care of that child.
