There is an age limitation at which parents accept the responsibility gladly for their children’s expenses. When their children become self-sufficient and begin earning money, their parents want them to support them by sharing the family’s expenses. They occasionally requested a share or rent from their adult children to receive assistance, but their children resisted since they felt entitled to their parent’s money.
At the age of 25, OP lived with his parents and paid a minimum rent of $60 a week. After having a decent job, OP’s mother requested a rent increase of $150 per week to continue living with them. OP became irritated with his parents for collecting rent from him and informed them that he was moving out. OP believed he was only utilizing one bedroom of the house without eating or using other amenities, and that paying such a hefty rent for only one room to sleep in was inappropriate. OP intended to get a studio apartment or share a room with friends to move out of his parent’s property because he felt distressed that his mother was asking for money to accept her son in the house. Read the whole story about the OP’s opinion and share your thoughts in the comment section below.
