Some of my friends were charged rent. My mother never did. If I lost everything, as long as she was alive and still lived there she’d let me stay. She did this for my brother. Later she told me that the one things she asked him was to have a meal with her once a day. He told her that wasn’t happening. She still let him stay. I don’t respect the man much though.
I paid ‘rent’ ie: participated in the family funding of stuff. It felt normal to me. Was only required to participate when I had an income and it was less than what I 'd have to pay living on my own.

It made the entire family’s life better.
TBF, that may be a hard promise to keep every single day even if you want to. Assuming the child works.
