Can i have a parents view on this?

I don't think anyone stays at home at 23 because they like it. They do it to save money plain and simple. If you charge him rent he's no better off so he may as well move out. If he's only just finished his degree then I'd give him time to find his feet. If he starts feeling more comfortable with his fanatical situation I’m sure he will move out of his own accord.

In short give the man a break.

He should be buying his own food though imo.

No, i wouldnt expect rent, or contributions to run the house.
What i would expect however is that by the time he was 23 he would have got his arse out of my house and living under his own steam.
 
As you said hes in full time employment and really he should be, im not a parent myself (18), ok i don't pay rent even though im full time worker but i at least pay it in different ways, as in i cover paying for net and any equipment required for it, any bits and bobs food wise,
 
When my children grow up they will not be expected to pay anything towards the rent or housekeeping.

As my children grow up they will be staying at home until they get married and move out.

Quite simple stuff really, you made the children in the first place, you're expected to look after them.

:rolleyes:

Hmm, what goes around, comes around.

I'll be welcome in my house for as long as I want, without paying any rent.

But in the distance future, when my parents begin to get older, their wellbeing and comfort will be MY personal responsibility, and it will be ME who will fund anything they need. Thats how some families work :)
