Should we charge our two adult children (23 and 18) to cover the expense of a housekeeper to complete their agreed upon house maintenance duties that they are not completing, especially since they are only working part or no time?
Background: College grad who lived outside state back home working two jobs part time, and a high school graduate last year, who worked part time but is now unemployed. We have been taking care of their finances 100% in order for them to save up the money they do earn to live on their own someday.
My DH (53) and I DW (53) work full time at a long-standing job with at least four to six more years until retirement. After that, we plan to sell our home and move out of state.
We need to prioritize our health as we are facing new (manageable) health conditions. We are being mindful to include regular exercise, regular doctor visits, medications, supplements, and taking care of our mental health by maintaining friendships, including occasional hosting (once a month), and occasional date nights.
