Mr. Vandelay, re: charging daughter rent: do it! My (deceased) father-in-law used to tell the story of how the eldest daughter (born 1948 - beginnings of baby boomers) full time student and no job, started becoming "enlightened" while attending university and would run her mouth about the evils of "the man". She would criticize her parents about the size of their house, their cars, their jobs, etc., while the king-sized irony flew right over her head. Her poor father worked two jobs, mother had one, in order to keep her and her two siblings in a very nice home, good neighborhood, nice schools, nice clothes, plenty of everything. Plus, she had the audacity to keep taking certain classes over and over until she got straight As. Her perfection being paid for by dear old dad. LOL!
