no, i mean legally, for food (at least in america). depending on how its prepared, it can be called fish (not just seafood). the fda is ‘‘supposedly’’ going to make a category for snails, for obvious reasons.
American families are encouraged to demand their children pay rent and throw their children out on the street once they’re no longer legally required to provide for them. Workplaces have that same energy.
No they’re not lol. It’s considered very weird to charge your own child rent. Those stories make headlines because even Americans find them shocking. My sister lived with my parents until she was 27 and they never charged her a dime. I could move back in with them tomorrow and they wouldn’t charge me either. This is the norm in American families
Probably depends on what subculture you’re in. This isn’t uncommon in the rocky mountain area, in the white mormon suburbanite type demographic.
In the West Coast I saw teens working and paying rent but only in working class families because housing was so expensive. So more like helping the parents pay their landlord than the parents acting as a landlord.
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.
“Now that I birthed a child, I need paternity leave from my family. I spent that time with my chosen family at work. Can you look after my baby in the meantime?”
“That’s a reason for me to break up. Here is my 2 weeks notice.”
