Dean, do you honestly think that doing that is payment for doing your washing, buying food for you, paying for your clothes, taking you places, etc etc and the list goes on.
If you have a job is it not fair that you contribute?
Would you expect to live ANYWHERE else for free?
As for wanting to heaer from others of your ownage, not affected by being here in KB/ Grow up boy, we're all KB'ers and we will step on you if you keep up the whinning/No red justa tune up.Get real, help out with the chores and pay your own way.Nothing feels better than not owing anyone anything/
Every day above ground is a good day!:
I paid board (cash money) as soon as I started full time work. Before that I had a fair list of jobs to do around the house.
I'm the same way with my kids. Even my 6 year old has a list of jobs he has to do.
What example is it setting to young people if they can't get the idea that the world owes them NOTHING and the only way to get ahead is to actually go out and work.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
The longer you live in this fairyland Dean the bigger the rude awakening will be when you finally reach the real world. I paid $90 to my mum a week and was earning a little over $400 net when I got my 1st full time job - and I knew I was getting a good deal. And that list of chores you noted is _nothing_ compared to what you'll be doing for yourself.
HTFU, pay some rent, get on with your life (You have a bike and a lot of free time , with bugger all responsibilities - you are in an enviable position.)
My eldest is paying $100 a week full board, for this he gets all his food, laundry a double room with the best view in the house and access to my beer fridge (nervous twitch). He works casual shifts that pay good money and can work pretty much as much as he likes so is able to pay this and run a nice Audi A4.
Currently he busting his ass in Summer Uni (12 hr days inc library study) to get better grades on a couple of Maths courses to get on the Degree he wants in Feb so not taking any shifts so am happy to 'overlook' the odd week![]()
My kids were both told they'd be paying full market-price board starting the week they left school.
And that's what happened, although the price was a touch under the cost of a flat.
All the money they paid goes to help pay for their first house. They didn't know about that bit though.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
My parents are living overseas at the moment... so they pay US kids housekeeping money to look after the house
But i definitely feel bad about it, if i had my way i'd be paying board, especially since im no longer at uni!!
Yeah, nah.

Bad News: On the whole teenagers and youngsters DON"T make the rules, run the business's, make the laws or otherwise call the shots in life.
The 'Old' people who happen also to be the parents do that.

To everyone else, can we drop it, lets not argue this any further at the end of the day what goes on in my home is none of your buisness and neither is it for me about what goes on in your household. Please I beg of you just drop it.
