    An Italian couple have sought legal help to persuade their 41-year-old son to fly the nest, Italian media reported.
    The Venetian parents, who have not been named, say their son has a job but refuses to leave home and wants his clothes washed and his meals prepared.

    41 is a bit long to stay at home, she must be too good for him.
    I know of a couple of farmers who stayed at so long they drew their pensions with their mother.

    How old was the mother when they drew their pensions? like 80-90+?

    If the mother weren't so ill and they had the means it would be funny if they just upped and left him with the bills and mortgage and... Oh God forbid, having to do his own washing. He'd be fecked then so he would.

    They'd want to hurry up before it reaches it's inevitable conclusion of the son killing and cooking them for dinner.

    The parents should get down and dirty as loud as possible and in his view.
    That should get him moving on...

    It's the parents fault for him still being there, they probably do everything for him and then wonder why he's still there.

    She had them at 23 & 25 years old, she's now gone but they still have the house, it's a tied cottage so can't be evicted.
