Thank you Pittsburghkid. I was thinking of my friend Elfriede, who basically told me that about her only son and her attitude towards him. Maybe E. was not the norm. Myself I missed several opportunities with women during the years you mentioned. I was concentrating on getting my college degree, and didn't think I could (do both). Anyway, sorry if I got the German part wrong but being too close to one's mother's "apron strings" has caused untold havoc.

handsome68 I have German Grandparents, and
I never hear of that practice.
Up until the early 70's in America
The average man was married with 3 kids by 24, and his wife stayed home. Today the average man has to wait until his 30's, and his wife goes to work. In Ireland the land of bachlers, a young man may never get a good job to raise a family.

Sounds like the Mother of all Dysfunctional family relationships. "Oedipus-schmidpus, so long as he loves his Mother", says the Jewish mother protesting the Jewish son's therapy. Irish mothers would do well to do what I understand many German mothers do: when Claus and I don't mean Santa, turns 18, mom kicks him out saying a variation of, "And don't come back until you've a good job, a good wife, and a good baby."
