To charge dd rent

[MozzchopsThirty]

So did is back from uni for good.
She's starting her msc where we live in sept and is being paid £13000 to do so (£6000 in course fees)
She will also have a job

She's been back 3 weeks, bought a puppy (£700) has created mess that I can't handle and basically does fuck all.
However she will babysit her brothers for me and sometimes makes them dinner or will put oven on if I ask.
She will also put washing out if asked.

So today I raised the topic of rent.
She was previously paying £800pm in halls.
I suggested £75 pee week.
She suggested £10 per week.

She thinks IABU and that if I ever want her to move out I should allow her to live here rent free or at £10pw.

I think £75 pw for your own room, food, own tv with sky & washing done is ok

So AIBU??

So as not to drip feed am single parent with two dependents and working full time with a mahoosive credit card bill

YANBU. £75 is more than fair. That's £300 a month and all her bills are covered. She should have thought about how she would afford to fund her masters year before speniding £700 on a puppy. And if she has a job she won't be left on nothing after paying you that. It's possible to do a masters whilst working full time, I have done and I will be finishing it next year with a 1 year old as well.

She’s an adult. She’s made a choice to do another year at Uni. This is her choice. She’s being paid for this year and she had a job so there is no way she should expect to live rent free! Cheeky cow!!!
Also she’s wasted the best part of a grand on a puppy - who’s going to look after it when she’s at Uni/work? Is she expecting you to pay for its food/insurance/vet bills etc??
Nip this in the bud now
Charge her rent - a reasonable amount to cover her share of all household bills. Does she buy her own food or does she eat what you buy? Decide what’s going to happen there - she contributes to the food shop or she does her own
She’s been living away from home for the last few years, don’t let her come home and start acting like a child!
If she doesn’t like it, she can find somewhere else to live.

Well things are better today

She got the job she wanted 😊
And has agreed to £50 pw

Big of her

I think 75£ a week is harsh as she will have 0 money left at the end of the month

How do you work that out ?
OP said she is being given £13000 to do the course. Now I'm not 100% certain if that is plus £6K for the fees, or if she has to pay the £6K out of that, but even if it is the latter, that leaves her with £7K (£583 per month) before her earning from her job. The OP is suggesting only £75 pw (£325per month) to cover all food, accommodation, utilities, (dog food?), cleaning etc., still leaving her £258 'spends' before her wage from her job.
