‘Mother keeps crying’: Man who asked stepson to pay rent the day after he turned 18 moved to aunt’s house instead
Having a blended family is not easy. There will be fights and disagreements, but it’s all avoidable if both in-laws and biological parents are ready to commit and make the home a strong, cohesive unit. But unfortunately it doesn’t always work this way.
Passing Redditor u/cheeckypanda625 – great name, may I add – recently vented online about his stepfather. His stepfather suddenly decided it would be a good idea to make him pay the rent.

“AITA for refusing to work and pay rent at home?– This Internet user turned to one of Reddit’s most critical communities and asked its members to weigh in on the issue, saying they didn’t want to get a job and start paying rent while preparing for exams. I asked him to let me know if he’s really stupid. When his stepfather asked him to do so the day after his 18th birthday, the post managed to garner over 20,000 upvotes and his 2,3,000 comments discussing the situation .
There always seems to be some sort of horror story that revolves around stepfamily, whether it’s parents or siblings. I was trying to A Levels are essentially subject-based qualifications for all readers not based in the UK. You can send students to college, study further, or work.
Now, just one day after his big birthday, he faced a request from his stepfather that he believed was pretty mean. He was asked to find a job and start paying the rent. Billing was fairly doable, but it is not hard to see why the demand so badly hampered his plans. I was aiming for an A* grade, to be exact, but it took a lot of effort and a lot of time. Thanks to his aunt, he found a way out of the situation, but he still had responsibilities.
To better understand this issue, bored panda got in touch with Will Rainey“I am an award-winning writer and speaker focused on helping parents teach their children about money. Grandpa’s Fable of FortuneMy work has been published in the Financial Times, iNews, and The National News,” said the man when asking readers to introduce themselves.
we asked us expert To share his perspective on parents who charge their children rent or kick them out of their homes as soon as they turn 18, he responded: I believe parents should help their children learn about budgeting and expense management. This should be done in a supportive and inclusive manner. For example, descendants agree to contribute an affordable amount to the family budget. Even if this money is saved by the parents for when the offspring eventually leaves home.”
Who would have thought that everything we think, say, and do affects ourselves and others?

“Learning about money is important, but it should not harm family relationships. They are less likely to seek or engage in financial help, which they feel can lead to long-term financial problems.
Then I wondered if this kind of independence actually benefits young adults. I had to use student loans to pay for lodging, but this independence paid off for me because I had to learn to budget and manage money. We had a good relationship and were never charged rent while on vacation. Therefore, I viewed this level of independence as a positive experience. The main difference between my experience and that of this article is that I felt it was done in collaboration with my parents, rather than being forced or used as a punishment. ”
“If this is just a matter of money, both sides should be open to talks so that young people can stay in the family home and start taking on financial responsibilities. The situation in the article seems to focus on family tensions.” So money is just a weapon (i.e. I doubt the stepfather will be happy if the offspring pays the rent.) I’m no family relationship expert, but if anyone in this situation I think they should seek family counseling help or try to have open discussions with their stepfather about their relationship without mentioning money.” Will Rainey When I asked him what a person should do if they were in a similar scenario,
Last but not least, I was wondering if there is anything else the man would like to add. Therefore, I recommend that parents find ways to help their children recognize the value of money and be taught about money management. , should be done gradually over time. For example, when a child is born, instead of paying for something specific, such as a trip to the cinema, give him a fixed amount each month and let him decide when and where to spend it. If they spend everything right away, they will learn for the future. Also, encouraging your offspring, especially teenagers, to find ways to make money helps them understand the value of money. ”
“The key is to make it supportive. Help them see what you’re trying to prepare them for in the real world. You might believe that I’m just punishing you.”
