[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...

I'm surprised so many people are so surprised with rent. For 18 years we allowed him to live here rent free with the understanding that after he would be expected to live independently. Having him live with us would cost us more (more basic supplies, etc) so I think it is fair to pass these costs down to him.

I feel as though $500 is very fair, well below market rate for our neighborhood.

As for the curfew, it's not only just for respect, but also because I don't want him falling back on the service industry. Most restaurants have late hours and expect their employees to stay until 11-12 o'clock.

Wow, for 18 years you "allowed" your child to live with you rent free? The child you were legal guardian of? Are you out of your mind?

Do you think he's going to jump right into this government job or perhaps he'll need to fall bac on the service industry to pay you rent?

You sound like a witch.[/quote]

Yeah I’m starting to think this can’t be real. And you can’t incur a few extra bucks a month for “basic expenses” for your son yet he should be grateful to pay you “below market” rent for an expensive neighborhood he didn’t ask you to choose?
