After several failed attempts to
convince their 41-year-old son to
leave the nest, a Venetian couple
have hired a lawyer in a last
resort bid for domestic peace and
quiet, Italian media reported
Tuesday.
The parents, whose names were
not published, were said to be
exhausted by fending for their
adult offspring, cooking his meals
and doing his washing and ironing.
"We cannot do it anymore. My wife
is suffering from stress and had to
be hospitalised," said the father,
who approached the legal
department of a consumer
association, ADICO, for help.
The son "has a good job but still
lives at home. He demands that his
clothes be washed and ironed and
his meals prepared. He really has
no intention of leaving."
Reports said the son also had
aggressive tendencies.
ADICO lawyer Andrea Camp said a
letter was sent to the son,
advising him to leave the house
within six days or face legal action.
If he refuses, lawyers will ask a
court to issue a protection order
to the parents against their son.
ADICO says hundreds of Italian
families face similar difficulty
getting rid of their adult children.
The latest couple turned to ADICO
two weeks ago after hearing of a
similar case in which the
association had convinced a son to
abandon the family cocoon --
after which his parents changed
the locks..
