Should Parents Charge Their Kids Rent? One Texas Couple Divides the Internet
"Yes, great idea. Teaches them to pay bills,""Builds character makes them responsible" and"If they're not going to college, then yes," wrote backers of the arrangement.Several parents diverged, writing,"A definite no for me.
Kylee eventually decided she didn't want to go to college so the family drew up a plan that satisfied everyone: The Archies were landlords and Deason was their tenant, paying rent from her job as a clerk in Coryell County. As a renter, Deason didn't need permission for many things, including socializing with friends. She did have a nightly curfew to not disturb her 14-year-old brother; and if she wasn't coming home one night, she had to inform her parents.
Charging children rent should be a family decision, says Emily Kline, a clinical psychologist and author of"The School of Hard Talks: How to Have Real Conversations with Your Kids." "Whether they pay rent or not, young adults who live with their parents should think about how they can contribute to the household, either financially or by doing chores, cooking, or caring for children or aging relatives," adds Kline. "Families should discuss expectations and create solutions that work for everyone, revisiting those discussions over time."
