The kids that won’t go away
It's an international phenomenon: The Italians call them "mammon", or "mama's boys". The Japanese call them "parasaito shinguru", or "parasite singles". In the United States and the UK they are known as "boomerangs" - adult children who leave home but keep coming back. The young adults concerned may not see any problem, but what happens when parents find themselves living with their grown-up sons and daughters for much longer than they'd ever expected?
