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.
In rural areas of Europe, especially back in the day, kids were expected to pick up chores for the household. Clean, go walk the cattle, etc. It’s why big families thrived - everyone had to do their bit. The paying rent could be seen as a modern version of that. But working alongside your family to care for each other would have a meaningful and positive vibe, while the rent thing comes off as alienating and cold.
