My sister in law drinks and drives, she's an alcoholic and despite family members calling the police they never seem interested in trying to catch her.
Lazy rozzers.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Originally posted by original PM View Postwhen I started working and live with my parents I was chareged rent - albeit a nominal sum - about £100 per month but that was back in oooh 1995/1996.
Covered all bills n food
Strangely enough my wife's parents also did this but when she left and bought a house they gave her back all the money she had given in rent.
the money I gave my parents went on beer n tabs...
Rent was a third of my Salary, at the time my family needed the money. It wasn't a shock.
Later my parents helped me buy my first place by lending me money so I consider it a fair deal.
My Wife's parents did similar to your GF's and when we got married they handed over a cheque, we weren't expecting it, that was a nice touch and helped us on our first house.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

AtW was brought up in a foreign country and lots of people brought up abroad don't understand the concept of your relations particularly your teenage/adult children paying rent to live with you.
On the other hand they also don't understand why you as a working adult child would not help out a close relation financially particularly your parents with their living costs.
So in the case of your mother needing the money while you stayed - it would be expected you give her money as she had little but she didn't charge you rent."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Having children supporting their parents is sacred but making money on your own children is a taboo.
I am, obviously, aware that "children rent" in this country acts as a way to make them leave the family to get their own place, afterall they are already paying rent anyway. I guess it's ok if you really hate your children and can't wait for them to leave.
There are a lot of good smart things that were invented in this country, but charging your own children rent isn't one of them.Last edited by AtW; 19 December 2013, 01:15.Comment

It's not about making money from your children AtW. It's more like splitting the bills. If you and your wife work, and your child also works, why should they not be equally contributing to the rent, council tax, bills, etc?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
