You want to charge your kids more to share your Internet connection than it would cost for them to buy dedicated ones of their own, and then you'd add insult to injury by not giving them full use of what they're paying for?
After my second (or third, don’t remember) trip to the fine country of Iraq I was staying at my parents (wasn’t doing all that good in the mental state) and my step-dad decided to charge me rent. Fair enough I thought, I’m living there so this is perfectly reasonable, happy to help out. Turns out this was just a scheme to get me to move out when I was thinking it was permission to stay.
For my kids, it's not about the money. It's about responsibility and opening your eyes to the reality that eveywhere you go you will be paying for things, and they only come to you when you work for them. And the day you came to me and told me you were going to move out. I'd take you to the bank and give you all the money back. I would be saving it for you for you to use for a down payment on a car to get to work, or get that cool place you want to live in.
Okay, focus on just the first one then. How can you justify charging your kids more to share your Internet connection than your ISP charges for the whole thing? It seems immoral for parents to make a profit off of their kids, especially if the kids aren't financially able to move out yet.
I meant 20 bucks and the only HSISP in my area is Xfinity and it's over $120 a month.
But regardless, for my kids, it's not about the money. It's about responsibility and opening their eyes to the reality that every where they go they will be paying for things, and they only come to them when they work for them. And the day the come to me and tell me they are going to move out. I'd take em to the bank and give them all the money back.
