Do you need the money? Otherwise why else do you expect your own children to pay rent to you???

Bryan P - She is an adult at 25, should be working full time and paying board. She probably expects Mum to still do the cooking and washing for her too. Time to unwrap the cotton wool.

By 25, I was already married and raising a family. In our culture, that's the age to set up your own home, not still be living in your parents' house.

It's important that you and your husband find common ground here. Letting this come between you isn't healthy for either of you or for your relationship with your daughter.

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul in a lift at the Mater Hospital around 28 April 1994. As an avid watcher of the Money show I was starstruck. Obviously our short conversation entered around our visit to our new babies. Our son got the benefit of piles of Money magazines and is a savvy investor these days. We won't mention the double garage conversation to allow a pilot to live cheaply as he was away a fair bit. Six months after completion he moved out to live with his mates. I'm sure there are plenty of stories out there !

This happened sister in law and has been a huge bone of contention causing family rift. All children should be treated equally within reason. I would encourage her firstly to have a budget and set the requirement of paying some board. A minimum of $50 with part time work and $100 in full time work. I would also say she has to shop and cook a family meal once a week if you are shopping and cooking for her. Have a conversation and see what her goals are, if she's not ready to settle down into a career or buy property it's time to motivate some travel abroad.

Oh Dear!!!! Tell your husband and daughter that you are worried about what happens if (God forbid) you and your husband are in a serious accident or are killed. Your home may have to be sold to pay costs. Assuming she is mentally and physically ok, she should definitely be more involved in cooking, cleaning, shopping, transport, gardening, maintenance, budgeting etc. She should pay her share for electricity, water, rates etc. If she does not learn how to live now, she will be vulnerable in the future when Mummy and Daddy are not able to carry the burden. Tough love is a necessary part of being good parents.
