Yeah we had a lot of that kind of thing, where you get a kid who starts helping provide for family finances when they hit age 18 (some as minors), but it was never like a parents "charging them rent" kinda situation. And I've certainly never seen that kind of behavior encouraged in any way. Anyone who charged their kids rent would be considered real assholes. But I'm from Appalachia and Midwestern social circles.
