Another argued: “You realise that some people have little money and can't provide for an adult – also when the child becomes an adult there is no child benefit, but also they are no longer counted for other benefits like universal credit.
If you are wealthy enough to feed, clothe and pay all your adult child's bills that's up to the individual, but with the cost of living crisis many simply can't afford to subsidise.”.
If an 18-year-old has a job and is still living with their parent, and the parent isn’t financially well off, why should the parent still continue to pay for the child’s lifestyle?.
A mother has sparked a debate online after admitting that she finds it weird for parents to ask their adult children to pay them rent.
“My view is if a child is over 18 and working full time (not in education) then yes, of course, they should pay,” a third person chimed in.
