American families are encouraged to demand their children pay rent and throw their children out on the street once they’re no longer legally required to provide for them. Workplaces have that same energy.
No they’re not lol. It’s considered very weird to charge your own child rent. Those stories make headlines because even Americans find them shocking. My sister lived with my parents until she was 27 and they never charged her a dime. I could move back in with them tomorrow and they wouldn’t charge me either. This is the norm in American families
Probably depends on what subculture you’re in. This isn’t uncommon in the rocky mountain area, in the white mormon suburbanite type demographic.
In the West Coast I saw teens working and paying rent but only in working class families because housing was so expensive. So more like helping the parents pay their landlord than the parents acting as a landlord.
Family that doesn’t want to give you overtime pay, paternity leave, two-week notice before termination, etc., etc.
