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?

When my children were living at home, out of school and had a job, they paid rent. Not alot, but something. They also had their normal chores to do as well. I would think by the age of no later than 25, they should be more than ready to move out.
