Erika Archie didn’t hide it on TikTok: she charges her 18-year-old daughter Kylee $200 a month to sleep under her roof in Gatesville, Texas. If Kylee also wants to eat the family food, the amount goes up to $300.
For Erika and her husband Cody, the decision came just after Kylee graduated from high school and decided not to go to college: they wanted her to understand firsthand that adult life costs money. Thousands on social media applauded the lesson. Just as many others wondered how one can demand rent from someone who is only just starting to look for work.
Would you charge your child rent if they continued living at home after 18? 🏠💸
