ROME (Reuters) - A Sicilian mother took away her 61-year-old son's house keys, cut off his allowance and hauled him to the police station because he stayed out late.

Tired of her son's misbehavior, the retiree in the central Sicilian city of Caltagirone turned to the police to "convince this blockhead" to behave properly, La Sicilia, one of Sicily's leading newspapers, reported on Thursday.

The son responded by saying his mother did not give him a big enough weekly allowance and did not know how to cook.

"My son does not respect me, he doesn't tell me where he's going in the evenings and returns home late," the woman was quoted as saying. "He is never happy with the food I make and always complains. This can't go on."

Police helped the squabbling duo make up and the two returned home together, with the son's house keys and daily allowance restored.

Most Italian men still live at home late into their 30s, enjoying their "mamma's" cooking, washing and ironing.

Gives me an idea

If he's a grown man he doesn't need an "allowance".

If he's a grown man and doesn't want to follow mama's rules, he can move out and act like a man.

I do live with mom but I don't get an allowance, because I have own income..

What a sissy. I would not date Mama's boy. I know an old friend (He is a heartbreaker) who was ordered by his controlled sisters to dump his girlfriends because they simply didn't like them. I had tried to tell him to be himself, and not letting them control his life. He had moved out to an out of state, and yet two of his four sisters had followed him. Eekk..

Well, I think it's okay for adult children to live with parent until they are married or move out to live together with their partners or whatever... I think it's good movitation for them to save up money or decide what they expect in the future as long as the parents offer them freedom, and they should help around the house and pay the rent, foods, etc. and follow parent's house rules. (example: no smoking in the house, clean their own room or laundry, help at garden work, etc.) Give them the time; don't just kick them out on the street because they are adult... I'm not saying everyone should live at home after the age of 18 but give them the chance to moviate their life.

My hubby & his brother lived with their parents until my hubby married me when he was 30 years old and his brother moved out on the same time as my hubby married me and move out. My hubby is not mommy's boy... We are happily married for almost 22 years... My hubby is a man, not mommy's boy...

In my opinion, everybody should decide for themselves what he or she will do in this matter. The most important point is that everybody is happy.

But with situtation over 61 years old is pretty illogical... It sound that 61 years old have problem with his mental health or what? I need to find out what person he is.

61 years old? He must be delayed or something?

My husband is Mamma's boy but can do things on his own. He just becomes a baby when he is around his mom..weird.
