Italian woman wins court case to evict her two sons, aged 40 and 42
The bamboccioni (big babies) refused to fly nest and ‘did not contribute’ – in country where most under-35s still live with parents
The woman, 75, [...] had grown weary of having to maintain her sons, 40 and 42, and on several occasions tried to convince them to find a more autonomous living arrangement, especially as each had a job. [...] The mother was also annoyed that her sons did not contribute to the household expenses or chores
Yeah, I'd be really pissed as well.
The woman was 75 yo and will be probably needing assistance soon, she'll regret that decision bitterly.
If they were in their 40's, have jobs, but were still not even helping out around the house, I kind of doubt they'd be stepping up to the plate to help out anytime soon.
It's much more likely to be like this article. She deserves a chance to live her own life, not be a cook, maid, housekeeper, laundress, personal shopper and bank for her fully-grown sons. ... Oh, sorry, wait, I misspelt leeches.
That woman always was on her own, even with the leeches living next room.
Ew I stepped in shit
It's her fault these people exist in the first place. The entitlement of parents that kick out their children when they aren't convenient anymore is astonishing.
Edit: Downvoted by entitled parents who never thought about what it means to yank an existence out of the void and put it in the meat cage and just had kids cause "thats what you do" yiiiikes
Dude, you're 40. Move out.
These are grown adults in their 40s. You really think the mom should just forever be their maid? Even at the age of 75?
At some point they just have to take responsibility for themselves. Even if they have to, or want to live at home, they should absolutely be contributing if they are able bodied.
when they aren’t convenient anymore
Uh... you realize that they weren't convenient... well... EVER.
I'm not an entitled parent. I'm a guy who moved out of my parents' house at 23.
This is entertaining, but I seriously don't understand how it's appropriate for the World News community.
Did it not happen in the world?
That's totally not the point. I'm questioning if it's newsworthy and this community tends to be more for serious news.
There's just more appropriate communities, like !nottheonion@lemmy.world, for example.
I took a dump after coffee this morning. I'm not an astronaut, so that happened in the world. Does that mean it's newsworthy and should be reported on and posted in this community? (I'm insinuating this is more of a shitpost, if that's not clear.)
No, it happened in Italy.
I took a shit this morning, and I live in the world. Does that count? Should I make a post about that?
Maybe !offbeat@lemmy.ca would be more appropriate.
I did NOT expect the comments to be so divisive on this
It's really not, the votes show that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The proportion of Italian adults still living with their parents has long been high but one mother was forced to take drastic action after her two sons – both in their 40s – refused to abandon the comforts of the family home.
The woman, 75, from the northern city of Pavia, had grown weary of having to maintain her sons, 40 and 42, and on several occasions tried to convince them to find a more autonomous living arrangement, especially as each had a job.

In her ruling, Caterbi said that while the men still living at home was initially warranted due to the “obligation of the parent to provide maintenance”, it was no longer justifiable given the fact that they were over 40.

Although there has always been a culture in Italy of multiple generations living under one roof, the number of young adults staying longer in the family home has risen in recent years, mostly as a result of tough economic conditions and the lengthy amount of time it takes to find a stable job.
However, many are dismissed as bamboccioni (big babies), a term first used by an Italian politician in 2007 to mock adults still living with their parents and which suggests that some do it for the convenience of free room and board.

In one case, in 2020, Italy’s supreme court rejected the appeal of a 35-year-old part-time musician, who argued that his €20,000 (£17,400) income wasn’t enough to live off and he needed money from his parents.

The original article contains 428 words, the summary contains 268 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
First time I’ve seen the number of sentences skipped in these summaries, very nice! Gives a better idea of the whole article and if I’m missing out on a detail that was skipped
Some of yours would be happy if you still lived at home...
The mother was also annoyed that her sons did not contribute to the household expenses or chores,
My mum would kill me.
