you are enabling bad behavior. If they want to live life on "their terms" but under your roof...well, then I think you get to set the price.
And make it commensurate with the going rate. I'm paying $1680/mo for a 2br apt. Figure in utilities its north of $2K. Tell 'em that's what you want per month, and btw, the first month is due *in advance*.
I lived at home while i went to college, worked while I went, and once I was done I went off to grad school and that was that. No reason for a college grad with a job and a wife to be living at home unless there were extreme extenuating circumstances.
