Man Demands Wife’s Adult Kids Pay Rent After One Moves Back Home

A man is questioning if he’s the a**hole for telling his wife that her adult children need to start paying rent if they move back home or she needs to go back to work. The couple has been struggling financially due to the added expenses of having two teenagers in the house. The man believes that the kids are adults and should contribute to the household expenses.

However, his wife disagrees and believes that as her children, they shouldn’t have to pay to live at home. The man is now seeking advice on whether he was wrong for making this request .

Man demands rent from wife’s adult kids after one moves home

A man is facing a dilemma after his wife’s son moved back in with them. He believes that since the son is an adult, he should contribute to the household expenses. The wife, on the other hand, thinks that her son shouldn’t have to pay rent. The man suggests that if the wife feels so strongly about her son not paying, she should go back to work.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the wife’s daughter is also living at home and not contributing. What do you think? Should adult children be expected to pay rent if they live at home?
