I have heard of that too people charging but saving it for the kids so when they move out they have something. I dont think thats a bad idea if you have a child who cant save I personally lived at home tell I was 19 but I was saving half of my check every week to buy my first place. I did however buy the groceries every week. As for my own kids guess it depends on the situation if they help in alot of other ways & if they are trying & going to school & or working I probably wouldnt care however if they arent doing jack I would charge them something, cross my fingers thats not the case LOL. I hope they learn to save the money on thier own guess I will see when the time comes.
