[QUOTE="ML, post: 257280"] Thank you so much everyone. DaisyL I'm so glad to hear you say that you still charge rent if your 25 year old goes back to school. My stepson, J, 26 as I said, is discussing this as an option and I wondered if I was being unfair still expecting a small amount of rent. The rent will cover his food and utilities. I thought it was reasonable but wanted to hear it from the "pros" (you). I really am new to the world of having an adult difficult child in the house. He's matured a lot over the years I've known him and I genuinely care about him. His mom was a drug addict who was never really available to her two sons and husband raised them alone. He's not really all that fond of women in general but we get alone fairly well. I can overlook the sleeping all day and agree that I won't be quiet during the day. Life happens during daylight hours in my home. husband and I agree on rent of $200 $250 so that's good. I will make husband be the landlord in terms of asking for rent. So far it's very different this time than when he lived with us before. For one thing husband is sober (6 months now!) and he and I are in a much better place in our marriage. I really appreciate your feedback and feel pretty solid in my expectations now. Sometimes you just need reassurance that they're reasonable. Love and appreciation, ML [/QUOTE]
