Italian children forced to leave home at 18

[ash12181987]

This is just odd, a rather unnecessary piece of legislation, don't they have like... social issues, or art preservation, or feeding starving homeless to worry about?

I have friends who live with their parents until their done with school. Hell, if I lived with mine up until I got engaged.

If you can't stand your family it's perfectly understandable. But, if your not all about to kill each other, it helps save a ****-ton of money, and helps you focus on your studies for the most part because you don't have to worry about jobs, roommates, etc. Suppose it's up to the individual person though.

Llandy: Good point about Muslim families though, that is a very good system.

Maybe it's to help cure Italy's alarmingly fast rate of depopulation. Though it is weird to create a law contrary to the culture of a country.

****. I just noticed the extra e on the end of forced.

Haven't seen the video yet, buy you took the words right out of my mouth.

I already live on my own...

My parents come home at weekends and otherwise I look after myself. It was lonely at first, but it gets normal fairly quickly, and now I can't stand having people around for too long

Or you could have my parents, who had us cleaning, hoovering, washing dishes, ironing and making simple food at <10yrs old. Really, knowing how to take care of yourself isn't all that hard unless you've been sheltered/pampered all your life and fed off silver spoons.

This. I never had an allowance either, having instead to earn all my spending money.

The same

.... What... the ... ****... this guy leaves his mom and its on the ****ing news???

Then I don't really understand how you failed to get the point of those news.

My appologies, i'm not being very clear here... when a country has to make laws so that people can undergo the natural course of their lives... and then its on the news... i cant help it but to release the biggest *sigh*. I'd call this Anti-Evolution.

Reminds me of Obama who made a national broadcast about swine Flu, he said ''Now remember to wash your hands... Cover your mouth when you cought'' lol... American president telling Pre-school stuff to the nation.

Interesting, so you didn't even re-watch it?

The news actually talked about a guy who still lives with his mom as a 28-year old,  they also mentioned that a politician has said that there should be a law which forces children to move away from home when they are 18-years old.

And in fact the news aren't even about such law, the news concentrate on the fact that people in Italy keep living with their parents (pretty much till they die) and that it's usual in their culture.

Anti-Evolution indeed.

I didn't move out until after I was almost 20, because 1) I couldn't afford to and 2) didn't have anyone to move out with until last May.

...maybe it's not so natural after all?

What's wrong with living at home with your parents after 18? I think it's a great idea until you can graduate from a college or university, after you've graduated is when you should be looking into moving out and getting your own place.

Usually when you finish uni you're a man grown (by man grown I don't mean like 18-man-grown, who are all still pretty much boys), if not -old-.

Let's see how independent you guys are when the economy goes south, nobody is hiring except for minimum wage (and probably not even full-time) even though you have a degree, and housing costs would eat up around 75% of your earnings (depending on where you live, of course). Then moving back in with your parents doesn't sound like such a bad thing. I didn't end up having to do that when I was having trouble, but I came pretty close.

I knew someone whose parents had to move in with him and his wife because they went bankrupt paying for their medical costs.

 

[DSparil]

I moved out at 18 and it was the best thing I ever did (felt so good that I even moved out to another city  )
Anyways, about a year ago I became friends with a guy who is 27 and still lives with her mother, they behave just like my mum and I did when I was a teenager, it's kinda sad.

News flash, the economy has already gone south.
And who exactly is "you guys"?

True, I didn't find any work during the last 9 months but fortunately I've got student benefits. (Yay!  )

Then moving back in with your parents doesn't sound like such a bad thing. I didn't end up having to do that when I was having trouble, but I came pretty close.

Moving back with your parents? What kind of argument is this?
You really think that the "46-year old woman who lived with her dad" had at some point moved away and back home, you really think Giuseppe did? No, the news are about people who stay at home.

And next time you actually write something like this, why don't you quote the people you want to reply to.

 

[Mage246]

What I said was pretty self-explanatory, I think you need to get a cup of coffee and reread it again if you are having trouble with it.

I agree with Mage.
