But even that's too much for her boys. She explains, "I charge them rent. I give them allowance. Denim gets $15. Diezel gets $10 a week. They have to take out the trash, do all these things, but I make them pay me rent. Diezel pays $1, Denim pays $1.50. I swear to god, Diezel pays a 50 cents for utilities. Denim pays 25 cents for utilities, for cable ... I charge them! So they give me, like, $3 a week out of their allowance. I told them one day you'll have to pay rent, so I'm helping you. They get upset, '$3 a week mom? $3?!'"
