Charging rent to 18 year old DD

[vdbfamily]

AIBU to ask 18 year old DD for some money towards her board and keep when she had opted for a year out before university and got herself a full time job working in a nearby care home. For context, she worked some shifts around her A levels and used to earn up to £800 a month and we did not charge as she was in full time education, but now she is not studying. If IANBU, what would you charge? Currently she pays nothing, not even phone contract.

That sounds reasonable, Ludoole, if adult children have permanent jobs and still living at home. £50-70 per week is a good amount to pay, they will still have plenty left. It is different when a young person is on a gap year, intending to go to university in a year or so.
