Am I wrong to ask my son for board still?

[OneSnugLimePombear]

My 28 year old son, who has always lived at home) met this girl about three months ago. He then started staying over at her house house every night. But coming home from work for a bath and a change of clothes. I do all his washing. The thing is he had always paid me £200 board and as soon as he started staying at her house he stopped giving it to me. I did suggest he just give me half for now but he won’t. Am I wrong asking for it? I only have my state pension.

She will get a discount on council tax, have lower bills and may be eligible for means tested benefits based on there not being another working adult in the house.

Op where are you?

Now that he has stopped paying you board, you can't afford to keep doing his washing and letting him have a bath at your house.

He is either living with his girlfriend, in which case he does his washing and has a bath there and he doesn't pay you anything, or he is still coming home every day for a bath and to get his washing done, in which case he needs to pay enough to cover the cost of this.
