Should 22yr old daughter pay board?

[Diamond47]

Having been financially supported through university, now has good taking home £1000.00 per month. She will soon start new job with more money. Refuses to pay board. States she shouldn't have to as - only stays at home 5 noghts per week, eats breakfats 5 mornings, takes lunch 5 days, eats dinner with us 2-3 times per week. Spends rest of time with boyfriend. She is going to move in with mates for 6 months then intends to move back home. Am feeling like a mug! Dont want to 'rock the boat' as she has suffered anxiety/ depression but now well. She uses all household facilities, expects food in fridge, tv, comfy hoome, etc. She has now taken food from my cupboard for ner house with mates! am getting to end of tether but don't want a huge argument. When I try to talk to her she tells me she will move to her Dads so her just say ok! HELP!

Wow - An AIBU where everyone is in agreement!

(or have I missed the poster who thinks she should live rent free?)

She is an adult and she should be contributing the running of the house,if she is living there.Why on earth does she think she shouldn't have to?

Yes she should.

When I moved back to my parents' (also mum and stepfather) after travelling (aged 23 and working again), they didn't ask me to pay anything, but I bought almost all the groceries (to the equivalent of what rent would have been) and cooked most nights to make up. Did this for 2 years 'till I moved in with my boyfriend.

I think she is very disrespectful.
