Oh man I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I grew up with the cultural belief that everyone contributes toward the family home, usually in some kind of chore or favor basis rather than money. If for nothing else than just because it made us value the place we live in and the work we do, as well as the work of others.

My sister at one point was the type to find herself unduly overburdened when asked to clean the house when she still lived with our parents. She cited the fact she worked two other very very part time jobs, while my parents worked probably 17+ hours a day.

I can see the perspective of having an adult acting like an entitled child when they should have the emotional maturity and sensitivity to contribute to the house they live in.

On the other hand, I live with my parents in spates, mostly between jobs. But, I clean house, help them with farm work, and other stuff. They don't ask me to do it, in fact they usually give me some kind of return for my labor (I work something like 15-17 hours when I'm at home), when I just see it as a sort of trade-off for putting up with my ass while I live with them.

So I'm conflicted. I've never understood or appreciated the whole parents expecting their children to pay them for living with them, but in my community, children often live with their parents for a fairly long clip, especially if they're unmarried. We're poor, and women especially can't make enough money with the jobs available to pay for their own separate housing.
