My father charged me rent when I started working and I resented it, but I don’t charge my single children who are working and living at home. Maybe my father needed the money; I don’t. Still the charging me rent was an impetus for me to move out on my own. I was old enough and it was the best move for me at the time. I agree, children should feel on their own to contribute in some way, but really, if they are just starting out, i would prefer they save their money for a time when they marry and need money to set up a household.
