I guess that depends on the earning capacity or income of both child and parent….!.

Surely if the parents have committed themselves to a high level of household expenditure based on their own aspirations, it would seem unfair to expect their child to match that with a fully proportional contribution until such times as that child has a chance to earn/save enough to find a place of their own…

Make it realistic but make them know they are getting a discount and need to save to move out! I have seen too many young people leave home and found themselves in debt really quickly as they got used to paying a pittance for their living expenses and spending the rest on fun.

Depends if you can afford not to ask for rent, if they work and spend money stupidly then yes you should charge them rent but secretly save it for them but if they are good at saving their money for their future then no. Saves you forking out in the future when they are dessprate.

I suggest you ask her to do the weekly shopping for £10 or pay the electricity bill once a quarter.

bloody hell...I gave my mum £15 a week when I last lived at home (I moved into my own place in June 1984) and was earning just over £6,000 a year as a clerical assistant.

I don't think letting your kids have an easy ride once they are earning is doing them any favours...surely part of being a good parent is to help them to become a resposible adult, and learning how to budget is a part of that

.

Many many years ago,(no I wasn;t up chimneys) I paid my Mum and Dad £10.00 per week, my wage was £25.00 per week before tax, can't remember my take home. I changed jobs and took a £5 per week drop in salary to get me on the foot of a ladder, my board stayed at £10 per week.

So I paid between 40 and 50% of my wage

My kids have left home now but before they moved out. I had nothing from them. I took £20 per week from them and and banked it. I then gave it all back to them the day they moved out to help them set up in their own places!

I think it also depends on how much they are prepared to do round the house. I wouldn't be happy if I got paid £20 a week, and still had to do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, ironing, picking up after them etc. Would happily give a discount if they were helping around OUR home.

£20.00 per week he works full time good wage he helps out with the household bills shopping etc so we would never ask for more and in return he is able to put money aside for when he can afford his own place

I earn about £9500 a year after tax and I pay £35 a week and I also buy my own food/toiletries on top of that. I say it if a child is spending money like there's no tomorrow and the parents are struggling then the child isn't paying enough rent. If the parents aren't struggling and the child is contributing them its fine. You have to work out what would your situation be of you didn't have the child's income. Plus you have to prepare them for the real world as when they leave home. They will have to pay for all the bills themselves.

As far as I can recall (at my great age!) I always gave approx one-third to my Mum, regardless of what I earned - even when I got lucky at 23 and was on around £600 a week (1984).

No wonder she could afford to shop at Marks and Sparks!!

However, I was lucky enough to have never been out of work, so have no idea what I'd have done under those circumstances.

Ted.
