[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 84108, member: 2459"] I wasn't a difficult child but at one point I had moved out and then came back home. My parents had similar rules and I think they were fair. Curfew - No curfew as I was over 18 but I was required to call before a certain time to let them know if I wasn't going to be home that night. Rent - I don't recall the amount but I was required to pay so much rent as I was working. In my case I think it was a pretty small amount but it was more for the responsibility angle than anything. Food - I was included in family meals and snacks but if I wanted anything above and beyond what was in the house, I bought it. Phone - I paid for any long distance calls I made. Laundry - I did my own unless mom offered to do some to make a full load and vice versa. I also helped out around the house; picking up, dishes and other house specific chores. (We heated soley with wood so some of the things I helped with were pretty specific to our household) Vehicle - "My" vehicle was registered to my mom even though I was the only one who drove it. (POS that it was) I either helped with or fully paid my insurance/gas (don't quite remember on the insurance) But again, I was working and I had done that in high school anyway so it wasn't a big deal for me. Any repairs that were needed I either handled myself or my dad took care of and I paid for parts if needed. Personal products/clothes - I was welcome to use whatever shampoo and/or soap that was in the house but by that time I had my own brand preferences so I usually just bought my own stuff. Same with clothes although mom would pick things up for me now and then if she happened across a deal. Otherwise I only got stuff for birthday and Christmas. Basically I think that what has been mentioned is more than fair. Anything you will be asking of her is more for courtesy sake than "parental control". LIke someone said, it's YOUR house and there would be house rules for anyone living there, whether they be family or guests. [/QUOTE]
