I paid my parents 250 pounds a month when i got my first full time job at 17.We had to buy our own clothes and toiletries from our earnings aswell. My dad told me it would teach me the value of money and he was so right.I moved out a few years ago now and i know how to manage my money. Your kids will think it's harsh but honestly it's the best thing to do, I'll do it when i have children.
AnswerYou bet they should! I have no idea why young people think once they graduate but still live at home and are working why they shouldn't pay their parents rent. It boggles my mind! I have no idea where this came from, but for past years kids have gone out and worked and without asking have paid rent suitable to what their pay checks will endure. Your parents are trying to teach you responsibility with money so that when you move out on your own you won't have difficulties paying rent, electricity, gas, cable, phone and on and on it goes. I am sure if your job is not a great hourly rate your parents will only take off enough rent so you end up with some money to spend on yourself.Think of this one ... do you expect maid service? Well, that's exactly what you are asking from your parents. Your mother has more things to do than your laundry, cooking for you, making lunches for you, buying your clothes and wiping your nose! Late teens and on scream out that they are independent, but they sure don't act like it.
Your parents love you, want the best for you, and I'm sure if you lost your job or had some difficulties the door is always open to you and they wouldn't expect this rent if you weren't working. Don't get any ideas about quitting your job (if you have one) because if you aren't working then you should be doing the cooking, cleaning, and wiping everyone else's noses.

On a side note, if you are saving for college(or a car or something you really need) and your parents have insisted that you must pay for it alone I think it is nasty of them to ask for rent. If you have to pay rent anyway you might as well move somewhere where you are living out from under your parent's rules and get that growing-up experience. If you don't want to have to live in the lower rent areas most young people have to live in, or you don't want to have to cook, buy groceries etc then you should pay rent. There is no reason for you to freeload of off your parents. Jeez, raising you was expensive, they have spent enough time and money raising you. But, ask why they want rent from you, that might be enlightening.
Absolutely! I am an adult living in my mother's home while on a temporary work assignment. I expected to "pay my own way" and was well aware that my mother expected that also (or I'd be living out of a suitcase in a motel). In my situation is not so much a matter of economics but rather one of personal responsibility and ethics.

Why parents should give their children an allowance as a reward for doing chores?
Many parents will do this instead of giving pocket money. This is a rewarding way of teaching the children that they must help out in the family. Life skills in living, that will be needed later when they leave home.
If custody has not been established and both parents are living who gets the children?
research the law for your state. who ever the children are living with today is more than likely who they will be living with until it is established by the court.
How many parents are involved in their children's life?
Many parents are involved in their children's lives. In most cases, it is good to have involved parents. Abandonment is a big problem that affects children for their entire lives. There are situations, however, where a child is better off living away from their parents.
What would your parents do for a living and what would you do when you grew up?
Parents need to earn money so that they can care properly for their children. It does not matter what particular job they do, but they need one which pays reasonably well. When the children grow up they should follow the good example which has been set by their parents. When they have left education they should try to "pay their way" with their parents by contributing part of their income to increase the family's income pot. When their parents are older and retired, the younger ones should help to care for them in return for their parents' years of child care.
Why should not man obey his parents who are the source of his birth and who are living gods?
That's basically a rhetorical question. In general, children should obey their parents because they are trying to guide and protect them. However, our parents on earth sometimes make poor choices that can harm us. We should obey our father, God, who is perfect, before our parents, if there is any discrepancy between them.
