Yeah, I'd be really pissed as well.
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
Are your parents pressuring you to move out of their basement? Your seemed to take this article personally.
My parents were too poor to ever own a house. Check your privilege.
Does it upset you that they are kicking you out of their shanty?
Grow up bud
Dude, you're 40. Move out.
You don't know the circumstances under which she had kids. I understand your point that they didn't ask to be born, but if that's the case are they just going to be bitter freeloaders to punish her?
To punish her? They didn't ask to exist, now they do. Why should they have any responsibility?
Because they are grown men with the capacity to be self sufficient?
It's not the parents who are entitled, here.
I legit went from "hmm I disagree, but understand where he's coming from" to "this guy is deluded and crazy".
Property prices are super high everywhere right now and it's easy to understand how some people want to live rent free whilst earning so they can enjoy extravagant lifestyles.
But at 40, they're pushing it too far, to force their 70+ y.o. mother to carry them while they offer nothing in return.
IMO letting them chill for 40 years rent free is more than enough payment for 'being born'. If they weren't earning or were disabled etc and needed care etc then it would've been fine, but they're legit deadbeat freeloaders who won't bat an eyelid if their mom died.
If they haven't got a place to live, tough. They'll learn the hard way. 40 years is plenty of time to have figured it out.
You realize the same logic applies for her right? She didn't ask to be here... why does she have to take care of ungrateful sons?
To punish her? They didn’t ask to exist, now they do. Why should they have any responsibility?
She's 75, she'll likely be passing away soon. If you've absolved these two middle aged men from responsibility, who do you expect will provide for them after her passing? Are you opening YOUR wallet to do so?
Not a parent, just fuck your ignorant entitled ass. Stupid selfish prick.
Ah yes the entitlement of NOT having children LOL
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.
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.)
"BREAKING NEWS: Man Takes Dump, Claims He is not an Astronaut!"
I'd read the article.
I'd read the headline and post something in the comments.
Look at all these folks with time to waste. I don't even read the headlines. I go straight for the first comment, sorta look at it, and then comment.
Like this.
"We now go live to the man's rectum to see how its holding up after that dump!"
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?
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.
(tldr: 3 sentences skipped)
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.
(tldr: 3 sentences skipped)
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.
(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)
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...

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.
