So did you end up paying rent then? Edit: I can expound some. That's what would have been said to me if I responded in that way. Anyone living at home and not doing chores would pay rent. Mom and Dad did, so can anyone else bringing in money. Growing up, chores were not tied to allowance. We got $5 a week for spending cash, any extra we earned was our own, but chores were just chores. It's how you helped out at home. If you didn't want to do chores, the response was "Here's the classifieds, find an apartment." Now, my parents wouldn't have kicked a 12 year old out for announcing they wouldn't do chores, but A) the realization of how much money one would need to survive on their own is a hell of a shocker, and B) there are much better ways to apply pressure to get someone back on board with being helpful.
