Me and never had to pay rent before but my dad wants control where we live. It's like we have no saying of what she wants. Either go home for a couple of nights a week, sign over to be her payee or wait til the low income apartment opens up which will be a while. My dad gave her those choices like she can't have her freedom cause my dad can't trust her with her own money which isn't right. This whole situation is getting crazy cause my mom wants to meet her parents, like that is going to solve anything without the advocate. Plus it's putting strain on our relationship.

Your post is missing some information but I gather you are complaining because someone's father is asking them to pay rent while they live there. My question is, why shouldn't she pay rent? She seems to have an income of some kind so she has some money. Our parents are responsible for us until we reach the age of maturity which seems to be 18. They are not bound to provide lodging, food and support after that time. Don't forget, it costs money to have an extra person or two living in a house. They use more water, soap and paper products. They eat the food. They watch the TV and use the lights which cost electriccity. None of these things are free to the parents. If she is an adult your fiancee should start paying her own way.

Assuming you are an adult that can live separately from your parents. I don't understand your post. This is what I read, your father used to pay yours and your fiancee's rent, but now he isn't. She doesn't pay rent, but spends her own money in a way your father feels isn't responsible enough so he is giving you both some options. Your father is not controlling her, if he paid and provided a place, you both should be more respectful and appreciative of that

Your father has no obligation to pay or provide for you and your fiancee's housing. You both are partners now and have to pay for and find your own place. You mother (and father) can still meet her parents, even if there is this disagreement. With growing up comes responsibility

Well, of course, your Mom, wants to meet her parents, that's what parents do, when their children discuss marriage.

Your father offered up Three financial options. That's tossing out choices, not control.

What did your fiancé, plan with her money, if not room and board?
