AT HOME WITH MAMMA

In this writing, the writer tells about some facts related to daily family life of Italian men. He says that there is a huge tendency towards living with parents, especially with mother in Italy. The reasons of this trend are, in fact, very obvious. The first reason is that Italian boys are bond to their family very strictly. They give so much importance on their family relations. Mother is holy for them. Second reason is that they like to live within a comfortable environment. The majority of men between 18-54 are living with their family now in Italy. Contrary to other countries such as U.K, etc, Italians does not rely upon the idea of living on their own. It's not a necessity for them, and after the age of 18, they usually don't move out even if they go to college. The reason of this is that their families are against working while studying. They believe that it looks like a bit needy. From their perspective, I acknowledge them to be right. For their culture, it is to be done in this way, and also who does not want to live with his/her mother who does everything he/she needs. Almost no one wants his/her comfort be disturbed. 

However, some may argue that they are mamma's boy, and they cannot do anything when they get married. Yes, it is true. Italian men are some kind of macho and masculine, they don't much pay attention to do housework, etc., and they can be very mamma loving. It can be unpleasant in some cases. For example; they can bring their mother to a romantic holiday with their wives regardless of the wives' thoughts. I think it's irritating, too. Yes, I do also believe that all mothers are unique and holy, but one simply should not scramble them together. One's married life and parent life should be diveded in order not to make problems. 

In conclusion, Italian men are right from some certain aspects, while they are conflicting with the marriage rules. Men should recognize their wives' thoughts, mammas' thoughts, and then they should strike the right balance. It is the turning point of having a neat, happy life.
