Yes, Italian families think there's something wrong with you if you want to leave home. My poor sons (in their 20's) got a real mixed message; mom: Stay as long as you need, I like you here.. Dad (not italian) I want you to move out as soon as you graduate....(high school, college, grad school... )

NoNo (interesting name, sounds like Grandpa in Italian)
Congrats on going outside in the winter and riding! I rode 2 days this past week but before that, hadn't ridden since early november (on a trip to Arizona, I might add)

From the way you describe your family, you have multiple generations of "teasers"; that's the way their parents treated them, and their grandparents treated their parents. They aren't going to change!
You are doing the right thing. Distance yourself and enjoy your wonderful healthy life. And I'm glad you're enjoying that sweet bike.
