[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 574023, member: 11791"] On the challenges with Billy... I had lots of friends that had to pay "going rates" for room and board. (I paid in sweat labour.) The ones that had average-to-poor parents, the parents needed the money. The ones who were better off, did it because the kids needed to learn... and they saved up the actual rent money and presented it as part of their wedding gift (much to the surprise of the couple!) - the theory being that they would have just spent it anyway. Every able-bodied adult living at home, in my opinion, has to contribute significantly to the running of the household. You work or you pay... and the owner of the house has the final word. (work as in... scrubbing floors, cleaning washrooms, mowing grass, snow-clearing, hauling trash... WORK... not "dusting your room") [/QUOTE]
