I think it's admirable way to show parental compassion and love. Let him know this is what's going to happen sooner rather than later. And sooner Starts Now.
And I was just picking at you about the dictionary. BTW, you still spelled 'graduated' incorrectly.

My dad made me pay half of every bill that came in and charged me $500 a month rent. When I got married 9 months later he gave my wife a check for everything I'd paid him. He said it was the only way he knew my dumbass would "save" money.
Lmao! This is fricking hilarious!

That's fricking classic

There are parents that charge their kids rent? That seems pretty shitty. Either get them to move out or let them stay for free

I had a friend whose parents charged him when he returned home for a few years. They gave it all back to him when he bought a place.

You started this thread to see if your parents rent they charge you is fair, didn't you?

This is smart

In my gen-x generation it was a stigma to live with your parents as a young adult, but obviously that’s changed and it has become normalized.
There was definitely a stigma. I lived at home until I was 21-22 because I was in college and couldn't afford my own place. I was embarrassed by it.
My dad lived 12-13 miles from LSU and said that he wasn't paying my rent so I could avoid a 20-30 minute commute.

Nothing because my parents love me and aren't poor. But I only stayed in their house for breaks during college. Although, I was completely financially dependent on them
I took the OP's premise to be based on loser kids that have nothing else going on. No parents are going to charge their children rent when they're home on break from college, or if they're in college period.

My parents died when I was really young. I got the house

I live in our river house rent free.
I ain't complaining. Except that it's out in the middle of no where.

I paid my moms mortgage payment and all my own bills. Helped out with groceries. I was seldom home though.

I moved in with my parents after grad school for about 3.5 months until my job started. They didn't charge me anything because I was waiting on my start date. Then I moved in with my sister for about 3 months after I started work, and she didn't charge me anything either. However, I do help out with groceries, babysit her kids every now and again, and bought them a nice dinner for Christmas. I'll buy them another one as I'm moving out this weekend.
We're family so I was allowed to stay for free as I started my career, but none of us are trashy and we all know we'd do the same for the other were they in that situation.

It was over 30 years ago so basically I dont care if it was fair and I believe the rate has changed some since then

It was years ago but my final exam was on Dec 12 and I started my job on Dec 13th. About the 10th of Jan my parents told me they were going to start charging rent in Feb. Little did they know I had already looked at apts and had a move in day scheduled for that Sat. The following Jan I moved out of state and for the next 12 years I would see them once or rarely twice a year. Enjoy them while you can.

just have him pay one of the utility bills- electric, cable...

I’ve got a very good friend who is 38 and still lives at home but it’s because he is helping support a poor extended family of 3 generations that all live together like the old days. If he were to leave it would have serious repercussions for his family.
There’s exceptions to every stereotype.

I don't get why anyone would live at home if their parents were charging rent. Money is the only reason to live at home.
Posted on 1/23/18 at 6:47 pm to LanierSpots
My parents don't charge me.
I've always done chores and handiwork around the house since I was young and not thrown a bitch fit about it like some people
