Idk. Just sounds like a pretty shitty thing to do to your child.
Not even close to it, it's a valuable lesson that you can't be a leech forever.

My sister talked to my parents about moving back in after college cause she was broke.
Sounds like she just wanted to get a little nest egg saved up before getting her own place. But no Captain Hardass is here to teach life lessons.

This country would be a lot better off with more Captain Hardasses.

working and saving money without needless expenses in order to put yourself in a situation where you don't need to leech is somehow worse than moving out and racking up tons of debt before you're ready?

The girl was just out of college.. probably about 22 and broke. There is a difference between that and a 29 yr old worthless leech.
If the parents were able to provide and were trying to teach a lesson then that is shitty to me.

You don't actually know her situation though. You know a tidbit and basing your opinion off of that, as am I. She may have done internships to build up some savings and may have had permanent employment already. Dad could of thought she was ready to fend for herself and told her that much rent to convince her to just go on her own.
I mean if she really was broke and he told her that number, it would of been much better she missed payments to him than out in the real world. So it seems likely she had the funds to go out in the real world and get her own place.

Moved out at 17 for college. Graduated from college and had a full time job lined up back home. Moved back in with my parents for about 5 months after I graduated, saved up money and moved into my own place. I feel like a lot of college grads do the same thing.

Fair enough. Not enough details.. I think it's different for each situation.

I got a job before leaving college away from home as did a lot of other people I knew in engineering. I am sure it is a pretty good mix of people who return home and people who don't go back into the nest.

Yeah I agree. I moved back in with my parents for a little while after college because I wanted to get a savings account established--I was a broke college student at Bama. I landed a job in DC and my parents lived about 30mins away from my office. I thought it was a no brainer.

Yeah, it's a millennial thing. Something like over 50% of today's younger generation live at home past age 25. I know people making decent money (over $70k) that still live at home. I guess that they are saving to buy and paying off school debt, but still.

I do know of one dad that did that with the rent. He charged the kid rent the entire time the kid lived there after college. The kid eventually moved out and lived in an apartment a few years. She ended up buying a home a few years later and her dad gave her a check to use as down payment on the house for the entire amount she paid him in rent plus interest from him investing it for her. I think I would probably go this route for my kid.

I can see that just of y'all who moved home had a plan. She might not have one, or she might not have any type of job worked out. I'm all for parents doing something for rent even if it's minuscule. The will have an increase in bills with another home.

Yeah my parents charged my sister rent when she moved back in after college then gave it all back to her when she moved out.

Seems like that would make her feel more "worthy" in terms of being responsible. Also kept her honest in that she wasn't free-loading.
Not sure why humans don't get that. Even birds push them out the nest when it's time to fly.

She got a job and was able to afford a small apartment with friends. It wasn't like she was homeless selling it on the street and they wouldn't let her come home.

Lulz.
It was stressed to us from day one you go to University to develop an earnable skill that will provide for you financially. We didn't go to school for history and comm majors. It was expected that you would line-up a job before you graduated or would have saved enough money to live until you did so.
Sorry my dad is a hardass cause he wouldn't support your slog lifestyl.e

even if you have a job after you graduate, I would have no problem with my child moving back in for a year to help them save for a down payment for a house or whatnot
in fact, I would encourage it, as long as they had actual plans to move out and support themselves in the future
