An elderly Italian couple are actually in the process of trying to legally get their 40 odd year old son to move out of their house.... perhaps they have made him too welcome by still doing all his cooking and laundry but personally I think I would have packed his stuff and changed the locks years ago ... me I left at 17 bought my first house at 18 and never went back, but after my freedom never really wanted too

Wow, to think the 40 yr old would go to the extreme of letting his parents take him to court! Thats shocking isnt it

It is a very western attitude,from what I have seen it seems to be the norm for asian familys to live in a multigenerational household - there appears to be three generations in the household next door to me. I couldn't imagine living with my own mother, never mind the mil! argh!

25-30

I chose that 25-30 slot .... but since then I've moved back every time I've moved as it's easy/convenient to move back in between places.... and I'm back there again now

This time they've left home though ....

Different culture and family experience altogether, they tend to look after their elderly and not put them in to homes or care as we perhaps do now in the UK, they support each other. Despite some peoples unfavourable views on Asians they hold family culture very dear... something perhaps indigenious English families dont do as well these days, we seem to have adopted in the whole a more selfish attitude, I would imagine many British kids (adults) still living at home at say 30 are very likely more to treat their home as a hotel.

That is one thing I truly admire about the asian culture - their attitude to their elderly. Although I admire it, I don't think I could emulate it, if that makes sense. We are far more selfish I agree.

I've been a Yo Yo since I was er 20 I think moved out, moved back, moved out, moved back, moved out, moved back, moved out, moved back, moved out, moved back, moved out, moved back..... repeat several more times...

Been at home this time a yr and half now.... no not proud wished I was more wise with money when I was younger, but then I wouldn't have lived in Greece and France or done half the things I have done.....

So now at home at age of 35 and saving for a deposit... looking to move out in 2030! lol

I read about this today. Surely the simplest way to get rid of him would be to stop cooking and cleaning for him, and make him do his own laundry, and to charge him rent.

As for me, I moved out to go to uni at 18 but stopped being financially dependent on the folks when I got married at 22.
