Kick your kids out at 24, says Kathy Lette

SAUCY novelist Kathy Lette claims parents should force their children to leave home at the age of 24.

‘ It’s no wonder kids never leave home these days. Their parents are cowed, their washing and ironing done, the fridge full and utility bills all magically paid,’ declares the 60-year-old, who has two children — Holby City star Julius, 28, and Labour activist Georgina, 26 — with her husband Geoffrey Robertson QC, from whom she is separated.

‘But enough is enough. Perhaps it’s time we adopted our parents’ golden rule — Out The Door By 24.’
