I have 3 adult children. The oldest is married and has been out of our home for quite some time. The younger 2 are 18 and 20, and still live at home with their dad and I. Both work at low paying jobs and right now, neither is in school. They pay no rent, utilities, or food expenses while here.

What age do YOU think is reasonable for them to move out?
Do you think they should be paying rent?
Should they be chipping in on expenses?
What chores if any should they be helping with?
