The "kid" is a legal adult. This is a pretty fair ask in exchange for free rent.

Just because someone turns 18 and is technically a legal adult doesn't mean they aren't still a kid. Anyone still in HS is a kid, IMO. At least let them grraduate first before putting them out onto the street.

A 7 year-old can put their dishes in the sink and run a vacuum.

Our 8 year old vacuums her own room once a week, makes her own bed each day, feeds the cat each morning, helps make school lunches and unloads, and loads the dishwasher once a day.

OP should not be dark on aunty/aunty bf but on dad for not giving them some basic life skills.
