I didn’t mean anything negative, though I feel I had worded my response to you somewhat hostile.
To the reply above yours here, I find guests different than children returning home. I certainly think there are circumstances around each so it’s hard to make blanket statements. If someone is taking advantage, then I can see the rent issue come into play. But I’ve also seen it the other way where someone down on their luck trying to make ends meet was made to pay rent while their parents pocketed the money for their own entertainment.
I didn’t assume anything, I was mostly asking for clarity, though in a less than kind way that made it seem like I was judging you.
I didn’t mean to be a pompous ass. I just genuinely do not understand having children pay rent if they move back home. I’m not trying to understand any other relation that wants to crash with you. Just your children, what about moving back home makes you want to charge them rent? From my experience, I haven’t met anyone that moved out who actually wanted to move back home with their parents unless they had no other choice.
