Flying the nest...not when you have it this good.

[Zammo]

I've just read about a guy in his twenties who lives at home and has his Mum do pretty much everything for him. She waits on him hand and foot. She starts every morning by running him a bath. She also helps him clean behind his ears and, wait for it, squeezes his spots!!! What do your parents still do for you even though you're now in your adult years? I have to admit I still use my Mum like a taxi over the weekend.

Must be out of her mind.

All I can say is enjoy it while you can!
Both my parents are dead so that's that for me.
That bloke sounds a bit weird,I does he let his mum see him in the bath?
He is onto a good thing and he knows it.It's taking the Mick a bit really isn't it?

[China Doll]

Erm.... My mother does nothing in particular. My dad still calls me everynight and if he knows I'm gonig out, he will always ask me to text him when I get in so he knows I'm safe. I'm 32 and haven't lived with my father since I was 12.

[ummmm]

Mum - nothing. Hasn't done since I was young.

Dad - I often went to meet him when I went out. He always insisted I went back to his house (near the pub) and he'd make me a sandwich and give me taxi money, even though I had my own money. He'd usually send me home with biscuits and crisps and stuff.

I read this in The Star, a couple of weeks ago.

A £1,000 ARMANI SUIT????? I think I should very much like a rifle with such a high-velocity muzzle speed that would fire a bullet through parents and son's head together because I can't decide who should die first.

My dad gets me bits and pieces whenever he goes shopping like food items. And he takes my car for an MOT when required as he knows the bloke at the MOT place.

A guy where I worked use to do everything for his son and DIL as they lived at home with him. He paid for everything and the son never gave him any money even though he was working. Really pees me off as the son has never paid a bill and he's the same age as me.

[Ankou]

mums and their boys, its a tale as old as time.

[anneasquith]

i think by the mid twenties. sons should be cleaning their own ears.

[Ankou]

they might if their clingy mums let em

[merciasounds]

There's doting and then there's this - creepy I find it

[LoftyLottie]

Son went to boarding school at 11 years old where he had to do his own washing, ironing, clean his room etc. From that age onwards he was really quite loath to let me do anything for him, but I still did his washing when he was home and obviously he had family meals that I cooked. I must admit to to having a blitz on his room every so often!! I think he was about 8 or 9 when he decided that I wasn't allowed in the bathroom with him, but I stopped bathing him way before that.

I think perhaps I would have mothered him a lot more if he had let me. But he didn't like it.

I must admit that I did act as a personal chaffeur until he learned to drive. We live out in the sticks without any public transport.

Was is so great for his partner now is that he still doesn't expect her to do anything specifically for him. They do their washing independently and he does virtually all the cooking. I think housework might be left to her though!!

[anneasquith]

lofty. did he enjoy boarding school, was it his decision to go ?

[LoftyLottie]

Until I left home my Mum did my washing and ironing. She must have been daft because she worked full time. She also made my breakfast. I shared the cooking. Looking back on it, I really didn't appreciate her as much as I should have.

[tiggerblue10]

My mum use to shout at me to clean my room and do housework/cleaning at weekend as she went to work with my dad when he owned a cafe. She worked full-time during the week as a secretary as well so it was left till the weekend. If I didn't do it she would hit the roof and quite often I got slapped. This started from when I was about 11 and started senior school. I was home alone a lot of the time.

To this day I hate housework!

[LoftyLottie]

Anne. Yes it was his decision to go. He had a choice of a couple of local schools or a specific boarding school that specialised in music, which is the love of his life. I was pleased he chose it and not the local school. I was devastated when he went, it really made me ill - I missed him so much (he is my only child). He did however come home every three weeks. He loved it from day one. He hardly ever called home, unless he needed something!! They had so much fun at that school - mixed boarding houses!! He met people from all over the world and had such a broad education and it made him so independent. He always was self assured.

I got fed up with people saying I was awful sending my son away. He sent himself away. If he had ever once said he hated it, I would have had him home in an instant!!

When we first got married me and husband number 1 were skint and his mother was horrified to discover I was buying margarine...........every time she came round she'd give him some Anchor butter for himself.

[LoftyLottie]

Ha, ha Craft.

Spoilt Brat is an understatement
