A couple in Gatesville, Texas, have started an interesting debate on TikTok over whether it's right for them to charge their 19-year-old daughter rent to live with them after graduating high school. Ranchers Erika and Cody Archie, who go by Bay7Ranch on TikTok, have a million followers on the platform where people watch their videos documenting life on a ranch.Kylee Archie graduated high school in May of 2022, and on June 1, she started paying her parents $200 a month in rent. “Our thought together is that since [Kylee] has graduated, I told her... I been telling her, ‘June the first, our rent's due if you continue to live here,"' said Cody, who is a bit more strict than his wife, said in the viral video.“I thought that was a little harsh, I mean, maybe a little leeway,” Erika added. “200 bucks a month is plenty cheap to live like a grub in your parents' house,” Cody continued. “That's cheaper than she eats in food," the mother added. “We think it teaches them a good lesson in paying bills.”How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?  @bar7ranch How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home? This is a REPOST from last year but since its on Fox Business News right now we thought we’d chat about it again! #Parenting #ParentsChargingRent #AdultChildren #DryHumor #Sarcasm #MarriageHumor #Marriage #CoupleTok #RanchTok #AgTok #KeepRanchin #KingOfTikTok #RanchLife #Ranch Understanding that the issue might stir controversy, the couple asked its followers if they agreed. “How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?” they captioned the video.The responses were a mixed bag of pros and cons. Some thought it was a good idea because it teaches responsibility and prevents kids from doing nothing because they’re being enabled. "Responsibility is always a great lesson!" James Jackson wrote. "Collect rent, then give it back when they move out," John Deere added.Others think that the world is hard enough and that it's the parents' job to support their kids, no matter what. "Nope, my son is 23, and we don't charge him. He works and helps around the house...but life is hard enough and not gonna charge my kid," Shelly wrote. "No, because I wanted them to save money to get out faster. If they are paying me, they aren't saving to get out," Tammy Lynn Ballard wrote."A definite no for me… I know it’s rare, but I will forever help my kids… no matter the age," Chief's Wife 101 wrote. "No one ever said we wouldn’t be here to help our kids forever," the Archies responded.The Archies' situation isn’t unique. As of July 2022, 50% of adults in America aged 18 to 29 were living with their parents. But should they be required to pay rent? A majority of Americans say they should. A recent poll of 15000 Americans found that 57% say adult children living with their parents should have to pay rent.One of the biggest balancing acts of parenting is deciding whether you give your kids too much or too little. An old saying may help people in a similar situation: You should give your kids enough so they can do something but not so much that they do nothing. That goes both ways, giving your kids too much help will make them dependent, so they don’t have the fire in their bellies to become successful. However, a kid who gets too little may not have the resources to pursue their goals in the first place.This story originally appeared on 11.16.23

Biden accuser now living in Russia in fear of federal government Ex-U.S. Senate staffer Tara Reade, who has claimed for years that President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in a Senate office building in the 1990s, recently joined Tucker Carlson to describe how the weaponized DOJ went after her instead of investigating her accusation. The interview took place during Carlson’s recent trip to Moscow, Russia, since Reade is now living there out of fear the Biden DOJ would put her in prison. Ep. 103 Former Senate aide Tara Reade credibly accused Joe Biden of sexual assault. Now the DOJ is after her and she’s moved to Russia seeking political asylum. We spoke to her in Moscow. pic.twitter.com/1C4hTc9c1T— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) May 8, 2024 Reade told Carlson the feds threatened to indict her without revealing what crime she’d be charged with as they claimed the case was “sealed.” Allegedly receiving death threats was the final straw that convinced Reade to leave America for Russia.Save 40% on Ultimate Fish Oil today and improve your supplement routine & experience the world-renowned powerhouse formula! When Carlson asked the ex-Senate aide why she thought the DOJ wanted to indict her, she answered, “I think not shutting up. I think because I just wouldn’t stop talking. I kept trying to push for an investigation.” Reade said: “In their eyes, they see me as somehow being traitorous. This is the words that they use, I think, in the USA today, there was a former CIA agent who gave a quote saying that, my thoughts about America made him viscerally angry. Because I was talking about inflation. I was talking about the fact that there’s 600,000 homeless. I was talking about the fact, you know, I, I’m involved with geopolitics. I have a law degree. I’m interested in it. In their eyes, I’ve committed some sort of crime and I haven’t done anything. And that’s the thing. I’ve never committed a crime. I’m not a traitor. I’m not a spy. Not a spy for Russia. I don’t have tons of resources. I don’t have a PR team. I just told the truth about Joe Biden. I told the truth about what he did to me. And I told the truth about the corruption. And I wouldn’t be quiet about it. And I was demanding to be heard.” While she’s now being attacked for her Biden accusation and political stances, Reade served in the American government and “wholeheartedly” believed in the Democrat Party she worked for over many years. Just a few days before the Tucker interview was released, Reade issued a public statement on X, explaining she’s not suicidal and that she won’t ever be silenced. “The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone. I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end,” she wrote. I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work. I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign…— Tara Reade ? (@ReadeAlexandra) May 7, 2023 Related:
