A woman took to the British parenting forum for advice on how to handle her adult son who lives at home, but doesn’t want to pay his way\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the forum, the mother explained that her older son still lives with her, her partner and their two children.<\/p>\n
The man, who is approaching his thirties, makes weekly contributions to the household bills because money is currently ‘pretty tight’ for the family.<\/p>\n
However, the mother-of-three was left shocked after her son revealed he would not be paying his share of the bills while he was staying with other relatives for a week.<\/p>\n
She added: ‘He’s suddenly sprung this on us and as he now won’t expect to pay his contribution next week, that’s money we will now have to find.’<\/p>\n
The woman thinks it is unreasonable for her son not to contribute simply because he is on holiday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She divulged that her son still has his lunches and evening meals made for him,and she does his laundry too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His two younger siblings also have to share a room because the eldest son is still living and being financially supported at home.<\/p>\n
Many parents took to the comments in support of the anonymous mother, pointing out her home is not a ‘hotel’.<\/p>\n
One person wrote:\u00a0‘You don’t stop paying rent because you’re on a weeks holiday. So he still needs to pay.’<\/p>\n
Whilst another quipped:\u00a0\u00a0‘Of course he should still pay. I don’t stop paying my rent or mortgage when I go on holiday.’<\/p>\n
An adamant user stated: ‘He can go where he wants, when he wants. He still pays. That’s how life works.’<\/p>\n
Some even suggested it was time for the woman’s fully grown child to move out of the home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People flooded the comments backing the mother, with many noting he could not refuse to pay rent if he was living alone<\/p>\n
However, not everyone was completely behind the mother’s request, with one person recommending: ‘A small reduction if you can afford it perhaps, but there’s nothing wrong with expecting him to pay as normal.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others were concerned the household was relying to heavily on the son’s finances, with another parent saying: ‘I would make him pay still but I do think it is a bit difficult relying so much on his money. What will you do if he moves out?’<\/p>\n
One person continued: ‘I agree he should pay his way – and do more around the house – but it also seems like you’re relying far too heavily on his money.’<\/p>\n
But not everyone was against the man in his late twenties, with one user adding: ‘He’s not costing you anything extra whilst he’s away for a week.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
