Not uncommon throughout Latin America as well, especially for women. It would be very normal for a woman in her twenties to be living at home until the time she takes a husband.

That's essentially an oxymoron.

You must not appreciate good Italian cooking.

“A recent study showed Italy has the highest number of ‘mature men’ still living with their parents.”

I saw that too...although I would swap out mature men for middle-aged men.

This is what happens in a post-Christian society. They don’t have kids there. Mark Steyn, in his classic book “America Alone” talks about the inverted family tree there. In, maybe, 2 generations, most Italians will not have brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, or cousins. You will simply map up to your parents, and then to your grandparents. Thanksgiving dinner will be one child, 2 parents, and 4 grandparents. That is a SCARY, SCARY, thought, especially as that child gets older.

Make that older, immature men, and I might buy it. If you exclude those living in goat skin tents, mud & stick huts, or single-wide trailers, then it's no contest.

BTW does the First Mother in Law still live in the White Hut?

Mature? Oh I get it - you mean 'old'...

We have different ideas of what "mature" means!
