To think no adult kids would agree to pay this!

[Cruelstepmother]

Just found this 'how much rent could you charge your kids' calculator! www.comparethemarket.com/home-insurance/content/pa-rental/ - they suggested my cuckoo-back-in-the-nest stepson should be paying us £593.80 a month. What are your views?

Just done my parents postcode and it says like 560. My sister complains about paying them 200 for absolutely everything (my dad makes her packed lunch and wakes her up every day). She's earning like 40k so not like moneys tight either.

Wow. My husband and I have never earned 40K between us in our lives. why doesn't she buy a house?

£582.76 for my post code
DS pays £250 plus 25% share of council tax
We also pay DD to clean on an ad hoc basis and split that 50:50
Probably total less than £300
I’m happy with that he is saving for a house deposit and whilst I buy main meal food and basics he sorts his own lunches and any extras eg drinks and snacks

£751 a month my parents should be charging me apparently.... Good luck to them with that one 😂

and what are you actually paying, @sweetpea2811 ?

£885 a month where I am. Would love to see the look on my DD’s face if I asked for that!

mine are still kids but i did it any way and it was 720 the rent is only 500

@cruelstepmother absolutely nothing but my undying gratitude and love due to not having a consistent income at the moment

@cruelstepmother but even when I did have a full time job, my take home pay was £800 so I still couldn't have afforded what that website suggested!

£1025 - DC not yet adults or earning!

Planning early retirement now!

It does smack of 'we have an asset you'll never have, BTW give us shit loads of money'.

£891 for my parents postcode Glad I don’t live with them as our mortgage and bills are a lot less than that! When I did stay with them they only asked for £160-250 a month (including food)

Probably still a lot cheaper than having his own place and paying all his own bills. Even so, I don't suppose your 'cuckoo' would think it much of a bargain.

582. Nice one. Can get the kids to cover the mortgage

£854!! Whoop, whoop.

Actually my parents charged me £650 pcm in 1990 - I only earned £800!

£725 here!

We actually charge our recently returned 24 YO daughter the princely sum of..... 0. Nothing. Nada.

Can’t imagine treating our children like a blooming lodger.

Coo. £730.80 for me.

I want to go and wake ds1 up now and demand it. And the back pay too

I could go on holiday.

Hmmmm..... if I had adult kids the amount it’s suggesting is 4/5 of the mortgage and all of the gas and electricity.

Ha, and 572 for my house I rent out. I rent it at slightly lower than the going rate at 530 a month. That is the going rate of rent for the full house, not lodging. So I call bollocks!

£816 for my postcode £823 for my parents' , but it says £102 for combined gas and electric for one person a month, that's far too much!
My parents charged me £25 a week ,(it was the most my dad would accept), I did move out in 2010 but still it was pretty cheap

Omg @thighofrelief101 that was so much for the 90s!

You really ought to put a warning in your heading! I nearly fainted when I saw that I should have been receiving £736.28 per month from adult children. I had more than one AC living at home, they also tried to get the partners staying too. Not one red penny did I ever receive from anyone.
I was too easy going

£557.28. Our total rent is £530, and we don't have gas.

£606 for us. With 3 x DS, I could give up work and live off them. :D

Well, i live with my dad and give him £700 a month so i don't think it's ridiculous.....
