I'd be like: I don't know! When are you going to corrupt the child labor laws?

This is why it pays to be a much better cook than your mother.

22, encouraged to live at home while I go to grad school. I desperately want out, but my mom really doesn't want me to leave ????
ScientistFromSouth
Leave. I spent the summer after undergrad at home until my fellowship and lease kicked in. Longest 2 months of my life

I relate way too much to this. I've learned to avoid saying or asking anything to my mom where she can use this response.
Angelsemoule
I've been there and it always felt rotten. You just stop saying anything at one point. I wouldn't come back to these days.
Unquote
You deserve that kinda response when you yell at your mom like she's your maid.
HogwartsGraduate
And have her cook on Mother's Day! What the heck!
Sapphire829
You shouldn't yell at a maid either ;-;
Nanaashi
Yeah, and tbh if you're old enough you should get a job!

My response to this always was "I didn't ask to be born"

And my Mom's reply would be, "Then if you'd prefer not to be part of this world, keep talking shit and that can be arranged."

I recall there being a gif of a father who put a gun in the hands of his child (kid in his teens) and basically taunted him to just "do it".
AFUCKINGWHITEMALE
I WANT to see that gif

Was supposed to be an ultimatum to get kid to stop playing games but kid just pointed gun at himself and shot.

Did that stupid fuck have it loaded?
UngratefulNoob
Am I the only one who's parents don't let me live with them for free? (Inb4 accusations of 30 year old neckbeard, I'm 18)
RuthlessRuben
They paid me to leave when I was 20, essentially. They insist on weekly visits though.
malachitedragon
Technically I both do and don't; I don't pay rent directly but I'm deaf so they get my SSD check to help pay bills.
LiterallyYourMom
My mom's house had an in-law apartment upstairs. Soon as I turned 18, I got a whole apartment to myself, she got secondary income. Win-win.
Commanderj4ke
Nah man I'm with yah I cover half the bills
AlwaysAGenBehind
Yo I'm in the same boat rn, I have to pay 200 every 2 weeks and if I'm jobless for over a week, I'm on the streets.
RiceCatBOI
I had to pay rent after high school while I waited to get shipped out to basic
Cammo353
21, live with my sister and nephew
Leylynn
I'm almost 24 and I pay $300 a month. If they need more I'm more then willing. My little sis only pays $75, part-time with college loans.
DaDisser
My parents let us all stick around even my sister that never went to school. I voluntarily paid rent until i moved out. To help out ya know
1jess1ripper1
I don't pay my mom rent but I work 2 jobs, give her money when she needs it, and am paying for college w/o loans, so I'm at least productive
ImmortalSquid
I had a friend whose father charged her rent when she was 19 for sleeping on his couch when she couldn't afford rent for a bedroom.
UngratefulNoob
Holy fuck. That's pretty rough.
appaismyspiritanimal
Are you not in high school?
UngratefulNoob
Nope. I went to college at 17, did a year, didn't like the program so I went back home to work and save money for a bit.
appaismyspiritanimal
Good luck with saving up and your next adventure!
capughe
I didn't have to pay during University and they let me freeload until I got a job. Gonna be paying ~$300 from now on. 1/2
capughe
Where I live, that's about the cost of a room in someone's house, and a little under half of a low cost bachelor suite.
Nanaashi
My parents have said "you can live here so long as you're actively working/studying and trying to get on your feet, otherwise you pay"
Belatorius
Turning 25. Only pay $100 a month but when ever she needs more I can't really argue
flautista2013
I'm a 27 year old freelancer. They charge me a % of what I make weekly (work + unemployment checks) as rent.

Bugleisthebomb
Moved out when I was seventeen now 24, I honestly don't understand my generation. :/
JanetVanDyne
Not everyone is able to afford living alone.
UngratefulNoob
I moved out when I was seventeen too, went to college for a while, didn't work out, moved back home to work for a bit and save up.
Bugleisthebomb
Similiar situation with college; I'm on my third degree now struggling to finish it. Wouldnt mind living at home, wouldn't be allowed back
willowed
My daughters only four but I'm planning on letting her live here for free if she's in school. If she's 18 and doesn't want to go to college-
willowed
She'll have to contribute to the household. Not so much to hold her back from going out on her own though.
CompelledCynic
I think it's only fair that the parents charge the kid approximate price they would be paying to rent. It stops them getting comfortable.
CompelledCynic
I knew people in my 20s that worked a full-time job (50k-60k a year) and lived for free with parents for years. Lucky fuckers.

Aye
UngratefulNoob
That would be quite reasonable IMO. But that's not what my parents are doing. Also judging by some responses to this comment, I don't have>
UngratefulNoob
>it that bad at all.
DontBiteTheTip
That's what my parents told me, instead they charged me €400 a month and spent it on liqour. Took me 4 years to save enough to leave

DontBiteTheTip
It was but meh. Gave me an example of how not to do it when I have kids of my own.
Bugleisthebomb
How about charging them actual rent money to prepare them for the real world?
jodiethegeek
'The real world' they now can't afford to go into because of having to pay too much rent at home?
Bugleisthebomb
I doubt paying rent for a bedroom will make the difference. If it does they need to look at their expenses and income more closely. 1/2
Bugleisthebomb
Also by all means help them with a deposit later on, I just personally don't like the concept of allowing them to sponge off you rent free

Bugleisthebomb
Your job as parents isn't to coddle them and allow them to sponge off your generosity. You can help them long term by not helping them.
manaketeslayer77
It's also a parent's job to help their children get a leg up. Hard to do it if they are living hand to mouth. 1/2
manaketeslayer77
No shame in helping your child when they're just starting out. 2/2
ElbowDeepInYourDad
Dunno I'm in my 30s and my parents have never accepted or asked for even a dollar. Some love more than others I guess.
brumbievan
Or just in different ways. It's not a bad thing to want or need your kid to help pay their way.
ElbowDeepInYourDad
Yeah, I make enough money but that is bad health wise. I give them money but they just slip it in my old piggy bank.
ShrubNinja
My mom charges my little brother way too much to stay with her. He can't even afford to save up and move out.
raidleadergutts
Sounds to me like she's using him as a cash cow & preventing him from moving out on purpose.
ShrubNinja
Yeah, I've actually said something close to that (with a little more subtlety) to her before. It really irritates me, but like I said in (1)
ShrubNinja
another comment a bit ago, my dad offered to let my brother stay with him for near free, but my brother is too lazy to move his stuff. (2)
TheHungryBanana
Thats how things were for me too. Im almost 22 and i barely got my own place but i needed help from my girlfriend to move out. Financially
ShrubNinja
Yeah, my dad has offered to let my brother stay with him for near free, but my brother is also lazy, and doesn't want to move his stuff.
methamphetamemez
ShrubNinja
It's so weird that you've managed to find footage of me hearing about that.
MmmCookiePoops
Same.Had a friend let me live on his couch then moved with old classmate for less than $200 where momcharged me $400+house food on $565 rent
ShrubNinja
Yeah, she's charging him about $500 a month to rent out a room in her house, and he still has to do chores and such like he's a little kid.
MmmCookiePoops
Yeah that shit sucks. I skipped a great school to work right out of HS for them. Paid deposit and rent/bills for 3 months. 1/?
MmmCookiePoops
Had a coworker who was living n his car who couldn't even afford discounted food from the restaurant we worked at. I cooked him a meal, 2/?
Wolfendesign
Wait, was that $565 rent what she had you pay, or was that landlord's upkeep? Because holy shit, I need to know where that's at!
MmmCookiePoops
It was an illegally setup basement apt but it worked.
Wolfendesign
Darn, in that case Imma just leave.
