They are adults.
Would you throw your children out during this time?
What if they were taking advantage of you? Not paying their way while expecting you to cover the bills?

I wouldn't let a working adult live with me without contributing. And I wouldn't let a jobless adult live with me unless they were in school.

Why are they still there if they are adults? If they are college kids no I wouldn’t throw them out. If they are 25 and jobless just surfing your couch then yes I would guide them out. Maybe not this week (especially with the virus) but soon.

Yeah, I'd walk them to the front door and tell them goodbye and good luck depending on how old these adult children were. Pretty much what Carters said: "I wouldn't let a working adult live with me without contributing. And I wouldn't let a jobless adult live with me unless they were in school."

I am not sure what I would do.

No, I would not throw them out right now. I also wouldn't give them an option but to pay all their own bills.

I wouldn’t kick them out right now. But they need to be going to school or contributing in some way.

How old?
Was there an agreement to pay bills before moving in?
Are they working now.?
If they are out of work due to the corona stuff I would not throw them out.

If they werent in college full time then they would have a job and paying me rent or they would have moved into their own place.
Freeloading adults are not allowed to live under our roof.
However, during this pandemic they would be helping me around the house and yard if their job was closed down.
