So are you and Daddy not together then?

Let them get a flat, take them a cake now and again.

Enjoy your new freedom :j:j

if they were living in halls at uni then they would be paying upwards of £80+ per week for self catering,base what you charge them on that

Where do I start.

Leave all the other details out, DD 19, full grant and loan, living at home , doing honours degree at local uni- will pay no keep.

Runs a nearly new car, bought by Dad.

Boyfriend stays over a lot.

Both have max grants at same uni.

I do not want to be mother who cooks and cleans anymore.

I look after my parents 24/7

What is fair?

Never mind, at least you have the half a million your parents will be leaving you eventually

Last year staying in halls & sharing a kitchen cost £129 per week. Having your own room / kitchen was £139 per week.
I had the same problem when she came home from Uni, expected me to run around after her, plus she didn't see why she had to pay her way. I told her no pay, no stay. I am still not picking up after her, she is in charge of all her washing, her room & if she missed dinner she has to make her own or eat out, the kitchen shuts after the evening meal 6pm. All I can say is roll on the new term.

To think, I was actually starting to feel sorry for OP. Like mother, like daughter.

Will you be declaring the rent they pay you as income to the DWP?

Am I missing something here? OP mentions the 'high earning Dad'.....yet the daughter gets maximum grants? How does that work? I'm hardly high earning, but my son WOULD get £700 grant per year based on mine and my partner's income - that is IF the partner would provide me a copy of the P60 to send in - so he gets nil

Personally, I love having my son home when he returns from Uni. Does he pay room and board while here? No....his student loans don't cover his accommodation. His degree in the sciences means lots of lab time booked till 6pm so quite hard to find part time work during term time that doesn't clash with studies, and he needs to return overseas to visit family during summer term. He does come home and gets the odd day at a local restaurant to work at, and this gives him his spending money. Do I begrudge him his bedroom? A meal each day? No....he's my kid - and I have to remember that once he's a qualified Doctor, and I'm old and incapable of caring for myself - he will be the one looking after and helping me out

If however, he didn't help out and reintegrate to being a part of the family in every way while he was back here - that'd be different

Why? She's not mentioned anything about receiving a means-tested pension or benefits. The only people interested would be HMR, and if the rent is less than £4250 per year you don't even need to tell them that.
