It makes perfect sense, just very hard to do.
I suppose Ive always worked to the "anything for a quiet life" philosophy and hate big confrontations.
Can you imagine an agrieved 19 yr old outside the door trying to get in.
Ive tried talking to him and fully intended to stick to my guns, but let him persuade me to compromise on �5 per week whilst he is away for the next 2 weekends.
pathetic eh? He cant seem to get the idea that he's not paying for food, heating he uses etc but towards the upkeep of the house.
