My boyfriends daughter who is 26, lived with him, along with her husband and 2 kids for free. Now, since she mvoed out, she charges her dad to do his dishes. Would you pay it?

It depends if I know that that money is going to good use for her family then I wouldn't care, but if her and her family are doing well for themselves now since they've moved out and her dad is having problems then no.

The decent thing for her to do would be to wash the dishes and not charge him because he did something nice for her by not charging her rent when he would have had every right to do so. He chose not to, so that was that. Now if she chooses to charge him for washing dishes and he accepts that offer, then that is a mutually acceptable arrangement. But aside from that, it would have been a nice gesture for her to wash the dishes for free for a year. Even at that she would have been getting the better end of the deal. Rent is not cheap, and it would take a lot of dishwashing to pay it. Even if she had washed the dishes while she was living with him, that hardly is enough compensation to cover rent if she had to pay it.
Think of all the hours she did not have to work over that year because she did not have to pay rent. She could afford to give some of those hours back now.

I think if I were the daughter I wouldn't charge him, but then too, you could think of it as being a helping hand to a daughters family who is struggling to survive.
If I were you, I would stay out of it! You can't come between your friends daughter and him. Allow him to handle this in anyway he feels is correct. Bite your tongue, focus on the good things you have between you! No two people agree all the time!

It depends is it the only thing that makes her come over? They must have an arrangement. When she was staying for free she contributed to the mess and now maybe the dad is heaping dirty dishes because she will come over and do them.

Rather then start an argument, I would probably pay it the first time she asked, but then never ask her to do it again. She should have done it (at least for a little while) as a courtesy.
But I'd remember...

No. I think that is really sad. It is hard for me to believe that she would even consider charging him money to do his dishes. Unbelievable.
