Is it normal for a mother to look through her son's trash?
The son is 47, he puts the trash out and she goes out and dumps it out on the sidewalk.
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

The Italians have a word for people who live with their parents well into adulthood: "mammone".
The last figures I recall seeing were that something like three-quarters of adult men under 35 in Italy still lived with their parents, and the proportion of women who did so wasn't much lower.
To some extent, that's a reflection of how important family ties are in Italian culture, but a lot of those people would much prefer to live independently. They can't do so because even well-educated Italians find it very difficult to get a secure job that pays enough for them to afford the rent on a decent apartment and all the other expenses of living independently.Comment Hidden ( show )
