If kids are over 18, absolutely they can. I always paid my parents room and board [ food ] after I was 18. I paid 25 % of my take-home pay , whether I made $600/ month at my first job as a nurse's aide, or $1,200 a month after I graduated nursing school , til I made enough to pay my own rent utilities etc and got my own place. I also paid my own car insurance, and followed the usual house rules , cleaned the house on Saturdays and went to church on Sunday with my parents. Freedom isn't free . Follow the house rules , or go off on your own, then you can pay your own bills and do as you please.
Another PerspectiveOnce a child reaches sufficient age to be "responsible", it is reasonable to require that the child participate in his/her expenses and to learn how to pay his/her own way in life. Responsibility is learned, it doesn't come naturally. Teaching responsibility is part of a parent's job.On the other hand, if parents wishes to participate in the financial expenses while a child continues an education that is entirely their choice.

What are the legal responsibilities of parents with adult children at home?
None! Treat them as renters and charge them rent! I am shocked that most parents (not accusing you) allowing their children to work and not pay rent. If you like the rent they pay can be put in an interest bearing account and when and if they want to marry, travel, etc., you can give them the money. Also, you are not "maid service" for them so treat them as renters and other than sitting down at the dinner table as a family (the kids should help make dinner too or at least do dishes) they are renters only! If your kids are going to College that is a different matter as far as paying rent, but they should be taught to be individuals and do chores around the house, keep their room clean, do their own laundry, make their own lunches and if they want extra money let them go out and work for it!
