[quote=Anonymous]After 6 months, we were expected to pay rent, though it was far below market rate. I suppose we were also expected to be good housemates (pick up after ourselves, be quiet after a reasonable hour) but by the time we graduated college there was no need to impose rules about that. My parents raised kind, respectful, responsible kids who they treated as fully independent after college. We actually didn't really have any 'rules' while in college either. The understanding was that by age 20 or so, they trusted us completely to make responsible decisions. I think that trust, and lack of controlling behavior, leads to better behavior than imposing rules. I lived briefly with my parents after college, which they paid for. My older sister did for much longer, and paid rent. We both acted as a caretaker for our ill parent during that time period, so a lack of rules clearly isn't indicative of a lack of strong family bonds.[/quote]
