(They already pay their own rego, car insurance, phones and CFC membership)Im of Italian heritage, so we (in general) don't pay board. Ive put 2 girls through uni and they haven't paid me a cent. They have always had part time jobs during uni and they saved as much of it as they could. To my way of thinking, it was my way of helping them out (ie putting a roof over their heads and feeding them free of charge). My eldest has built a house and has moved in with her partner so they are off and running. My youngest has just completed uni so once she is working FT for a couple of years, she may do the same, until then, she lives with me free of charge. I gave my eldest a "kick start payment gift" when she bought the land, Ill do the same with Junior when she's ready. I toyed with the idea of making them pay me board with the intention of giving it all back to them when they moved out, but I found they were hard workers and good savers so there wasn't a need. Thats how I was brought up and my take on it anyway.
