| That's a tough one-unfortunately we all have to go thru it at one point or another.
I think it's great that your DD is paying for what she's paying for already, but I also see where your DH is coming from (re: room/board). Once they're 18 they're considered adults in this country.
This is just my personal opinion because I'll soon be in this situation with my oldest. I believe (and again, just MY opinion) if they're staying at home but going to school full-time, they shouldn't pay any rent BUT should have a part-time job to help out with expenses (such as cell phone, gas, car insurance, etc).
However, if they're NOT in school but just working, then yes she should be paying for room/board. If she were out on her own she'd have to pay rent somewhere anyways.
This can get into a heated debate real quick so I hope I didn't offend you Cathy-just my personal feelings on the subject and how I plan to apply this to my own situation.      |
