“My friend's 48 year old son stays with her and as far as I can see will never move. Why would he? Gets all his washing and ironing done for him, food on the table and mummy even runs him to work as he is too ***** to get a bus. She even buys his clothes. God help him when his parents pop their clogs as he doesn't have a clue about life. I find it rather sad.”
What I find sad, Maggie, is that your friend (who must be well into her 60s or even older) has made such a doormat of herself.
