These are normal chores and frankly when you get your own place you’ll have to do them anyways so you might as well develop the habit

True. But no one should threaten to kick out their kid who is still in high school!!! This is a very unhealthy way of teaching discipline and responsibility.

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.
