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.

but he's STILL living there AND getting an allowance?

[Immortal Flame]

Now ain't that a bum's life?

[Yakushi Kabuto]

*snort* And he complained about her not knowing how to cook to the police? What in the world are they going to do? And he's 61 and she still wants to know everything he does in the evening?

What kind of misbehaviors is HE doing? :o

[Payapaya]

Wonder if the thought of him ever moving out occured. He should get a part time job. Though I wonder what will happens when mama dies. He is so screwed then. :laugh

Pff, the man's my hero. Moving out is for weak people who can't kick their parents out.

[Morwain]

Okay....wow 61 living at home and his mother hasn't killed his whiny ass yet I'm impressed at her patience with him.

[gohan-sempai]

[Serp]

Phali0rz and lol

[Juanita Tequila]

This is why I want to get a job. :(

[Pilaf]

I've been working full time for the past six years and I still live at home. What's the big hurry about moving out? You have to do chores and pay all the bills yourself then.

Damn though..this guy is 61. And his mom is still telling him what to do? I may live at home but they don't tell me what to do anymore. I do my own thing.

[Dragoness_Noush]

His Mum kicks ass!!! :nuts

[Amuro-ro-ro]

I can understand living with your parents but still having a job, because that's what they do in Europe, but... CAZZO! XD
