How much do adults in their 20s living with parents pay

So someobe could say three fiddy twice.

Is there any other valid reason?

25% of their take home is what my two pay.

The CSO have done good work on the stats.

Nada. My parents never charged "rent". Preferred that I just saved for a house deposit to eventually be able to move out and be gone from them forever ahahahahahahahhahaha. No seriously, that is what they wanted, not rent in the short term and they get me forever in exchange

It's up to the parents to decide. The child should really pay near the going rate if they are gainfully employed.

The best parents save the money for a deposit for a house for the child, or to help with large purchases such as a car.

I suspect most pay nothing.

Some only pay towards food.

Some pay for food and bills only.

Without a high payment there is no incentive for them to move out.

Back when I was doing summer jobs and weekend work while in secondary school /first couple years of college, my mother used to ask for 25% of my earnings. As I'd work from 8-20hrs a week at the time, what I'd hand up would vary.

Nothing and when they don't live at home they still manage to bring home the laundry to washed and dried

But you would miss them if they where the other side of the world. Swings and roundabouts

Seriously???? The ‘best parents’ save for their offspring’s deposit??? And those parents not in a financial position to do so, are, by definition the ‘worst parents’? Cop yourself on, you entitled twat. Down here, on Planet Earth, people born in the sixties & seventies got married, tied a mortgage millstone around their necks, had a couple of kids, educated, fed, clothed them, saw them through primary, secondary & college, probably paid for their driving tuition & assisted with their first car & the abomination of their first insurance, wiped their arses, bailed them out of all sorts of trouble, provided breakfast lunch & dinner to them & an assortment of friends, forfeited their own holidays to allow the little darlings to go on the Transition Year ski trip to Andorra, paid for orthodontists, paediatricians and therapists. Room service, laundry, taxi facilities all offered free of charge & just because I don’t have an odd fifty grand lying around to pop into little Joey’s pocket as a deposit for a house - I’m a poor parent.

Cop the Fcuk on, you selfish entitled twat

I’d say your parents beat the shît out of you did they?

If they didn’t…… they should have 🤣

When I lived at home & was working, we did a basic calculation of what I was taking home minus cost for lunches/travel. I'd pay a proportion of the remaining. It varied when I was working in college but when I started full time employment after college, we figured out how much some of my friends who were renting rooms were paying & then my parents reduced that down a little & I had a set figure to pay each month. Both my parents were retired at that point (for varying reasons) so it was to help out. Plus it meant I was used to not having that element of my salary when I moved out. I think it was actually good for me in the long run to have had that experience so it wasn't a sudden shock to be paying rent when I left.

This is a long time ago now but I remember my mate giving out to me saying that I was paying my Mam too much every week. I was earning £140 and used to give my Mam £50 each week. He was earning similar but only gave his Mam £20 each week. It's so long ago that the £90 I had left was enough to drink cans on a Thursday night and to go out on Friday, Saturday and after a soccer match on Sunday.

Personally I think kids should hand up something. Having them handing up nothing doesn't really teach them about the realities of the real world.
