Well, you are out of college, so it is only reasonable that your parents want you to pay rent.
They should ask for a flat fee though, like 300/month or something rather than 'half'.
If I were you, I would just say "your right, you are charging me what it would cost me to live on my own.....bye." And I would go get my own place since I am an adult now.
Hey wait a minute, if you are working 40 hours/week then your parents are asking for 640/month which is way too much for a room. Just go get your own place.
Oh, and tell her to tell your sister to get financial aid instead of being a burden. I didnt' want to burden my parents, so that's what I am doing even though they were willing to pay.
