I have never heard of anyone when I was growing up, or now, whose children chip in for the household bills, or help with interest rates.
I dont get this whole "paying board" thing at all.
I never paid board or rent.
When there was expenses, we all contributed (more or less)and we paid them.
When bills needed paying, we paid them.
When interest rates were high, we paid them too.
When work needed doing, we did it.
Sometimes there was nothing left, other times only small bills to pay.
And yes, of course I got more than what I gave.
What we had we chipped in. Sometimes more sometimes less, but it was never someone else's responsibility to pay bills, it was everybody's.
What you people are doing is making them live in an artificially contrived world that just doesn't resemble anything that will be encountered in the outside world.
It's no so surprising that many cant handle it.
i'm of the opinion that you should kick your kids out as soon as they are 18 and let them find their own path in life
that way you will ensure that you don't end up with 40 y.o man still living with parents
instead of paying board they can get together with couple of their friends and rent something.
Of course he was going to do that... same as any other lesson in life. They will push those boundaries until they work out it's not in their own best interests. So what happens now, he moves out and stays up till 2.30am anyway,but now with the added impost of bills etc.???One son stayed up two nights in a row until 2:30a.m. playing World of Warcraft. That was enough for me to end the experiment as I couldn't see he was taking responsibility for his health, work or study. So maybe they will now move out.
Anyone else have these issues?
