  • My parents want me to pay them rent to live in the house. EFF THAT!

    OK normally I would understand and pay them rent. BUT... my brother has a a fully furnished apartment, which my parents pay for. My parents also pay for his utilities, food, insurance, gas, tuition, his books for college, and cable (internet and TV). Also my brother has NO job.

    I HAVE a job, I pay my own insurance, gas, food (I rarely eat my parents food because it is all low carb crap), tuition, books for college etc (I am not complaining about having to pay for all this stuff, I am proud to be able to and wouldn't have it any other way). I've been saving up so I can move out and suddenly my parents want me to start paying them rent which will delay my moving out. Am I out of line and being a baby if I'm a little pissed?

    Discuss.

            Before I moved out of my parents house, they had me give them a small amount of money each month. Little did I know they put that money in a savings account and when I finally did move out, I got it all back, plus interest.

            If they are so insistant on you paying rent, ask them what the money will go towards and draft up an agreement in writing outlining certain "rules" each party ought to abide by. I did with my folks, and it worked pretty well.

              paying rent its not a big deal.. paying a apartment prices are nothing like compared to paying rent at home.

                  yeah that does suck, did they actually give you a dollar amount, or did they just say you will be paying rent soon?

                    Dude, I totally FEEL YOU. You are not in the wrong....I mean, WTF, all sons are treated equally right?

                    I'm actually going to be living in a big house with a special somone, and my younger brother is moving in with a friend and her sister and my mom is planning on buying herself a nice house in a trailer area (not an actual trailer house but a full house, it's just much cheaper)

                    Currently I give my mom 400 for rent a month.

                    Your parents are being very asshole'ish ....

                      Perhaps your parents have learned a lesson with your brother. My advise. My advise is move out.

                        Actually my brother JUST moved out. One of the reasons I am so pissed about it is I got off work and spent a couple days in my brother's apartment and realised how much of a bum he is because he has no job and my parents pay for everything.

                          Hey, you're 21 - time to get out anyway. I went away for college so I go my first apartment when I was 19. Going to school and working to pay your way is tough but quite doable. My brother still lives at home and has always had a bad case of the stupid/irresponsible. I pay my way, so my brother and sister pay theirs. I consider it fair enough. My brother, though, needs to be kicked out of the house so he'll finally learn though.

                            if they paid for all of that...then I'd expect them to do the same for you...

                            that's not right...

                              It's not right for them to make you PAY when your brother is freeloading. That is F'd. Paying rent is one thing, but not if they pay for his apartment.
