A MUM has sparked a heated debate after revealing she charges her daughter £120 a month in rent – despite not needing the money. Roxy, who goes by the username ‘roxreviews’ on TikTok, took to social media to ask other parents how much they charge their children, after noticing what she describes as a growing sense of “entitlement” in some people.

Speaking to her followers about her current situation, the mum explained: “Now, unless you're studying or saving for a house, there should be no adults living at home with their parents without contributing in some way. “Be it cleaning, giving money for food or heat – you know, it's not free.
“The cost of living is wild these days.”. Roxy went on to share examples of “grown men” earning more than their parents, “driving fancy cars” while refusing to contribute – though she admitted that, as a mother, she sometimes feels guilty for asking.
She continued: “If you respect your parents, you would not expect them to provide for your grown-up adult self. “And for those who say, ‘I didn’t ask to be born’ – neither did your parents. “When your kid is 40 years old and still sponging off you, then that’s on you.
“It’s just a bit of respect, to be honest.”. Roxy explained that her daughter will be saving money while paying rent, and she plans to help her save for her own place. She concluded the video by saying: “If you're working to save for a house or you're studying and your parents can afford to support you, then yeah, fair enough – don’t pay anything.
