[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks and I agree with most of the comments. Yes, they now pay for both newer car's plus insurance pus cell phone bill, etc... [b]And it's not really about the table although I am the one that bought it in the first place. Funny thing is, when she was telling us we needed to ask permission to use it, she was using our washing machine and dryer without asking also! [/b]

As for food, we still have to take into account what each will or won't eat every time we cook, yes just like little kids. And no, I don't think at the last minute anyone should decide to go get takeout when we've already been lead to believe they were eating with us.

They currently save a lot of their money so that's why we don't charge them anything. We don't need the rent/food money but as long as they save it for future living expenses we're ok with that. Them spending it on drinking and partying would be a different story.

When you bought the table, did you tell her that it was not a gift and that you were just loaning it to her?  If you didn't clearly indicate that, one would assume you had gifted her the table.  You should have asked to use it.

Washers/dryers are generally considered communal property when you live in a home.  I would not expect my kids to ever ask to the washer/dryer.

You need to discuss with them your expectations regarding meals.
