What rules do you think an adult child should have to follow to live at home?

[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 630804, member: 4152"] Mine would be the same or similar. Our son lived at home for a short time after 18. First he worked PT and saw a psychologist. Then, he worked part time and went to college PT. (Didn't need to see the Dr. Anymore :) ) He went through some weird, late adolescence phase. He seem to be transitioning at first slowly, but then rather nicely into young adulthood. Anyway, we had the same rules and he did abide by them. However, out of no where, he was cussing (at the beginning). Nothing I said or did helped UNTIL I started fining him $1 for every cuss word and $2 if he used the "F" word. He can be rather frugal and it paid off. It really ticked him off, but I asked him if he wished to give me a dollar or pay for an apartment???? I think adult children (certainly if they are 21) who are working and don't plan on going to college, should probably pay a small monthly rent and also have to keep their room clean, wash their own clothes and have one or two weekly chores. I think around 22, depending on their maturity level (very important) they should be encouraged to find their own place. And if they are breaking the rules...at any time....they should be "gifted" with eviction. [/QUOTE]
