The woman, 75, [...] had grown weary of having to maintain her sons, 40 and 42, and on several occasions tried to convince them to find a more autonomous living arrangement, especially as each had a job. [...] The mother was also annoyed that her sons did not contribute to the household expenses or chores

Yeah, I'd be really pissed as well.

It's her fault these people exist in the first place. The entitlement of parents that kick out their children when they aren't convenient anymore is astonishing.

Edit: Downvoted by entitled parents who never thought about what it means to yank an existence out of the void and put it in the meat cage and just had kids cause "thats what you do" yiiiikes

These are grown adults in their 40s. You really think the mom should just forever be their maid? Even at the age of 75?

At some point they just have to take responsibility for themselves. Even if they have to, or want to live at home, they should absolutely be contributing if they are able bodied.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
