A 42-year-old woman faces up to 6 years in prison, after her 47-year-old husband accused her of not doing enough housework. The husband filed a formal complaint to the paramilitary carabinieri police in Italy. According to the husband, his wife had not been cooking or cleaning enough for him. He also states that he was "chronically neglected" for two years, and she occasionally kicked him out of their bedroom.
The case is expected to go to trial. If the wife is found guilty, she will be charged with "mistreatment within the family." According to The Telegraph, the crime punishes a person who mistreats another person in their family.

This case goes to trial in the fall.

 My Two Cents:

As an old school feminist, my blood boils whenever I hear stories like this. I have done research on this story and I haven't found anything in it that suggests that she is a horrible woman. A wife isn't supposed to do EVERYTHING for a husband. This isn't the 1950s. Women have rights. Marriage is a partnership, not slavery. If he wants dinner, he needs to get off of his a** and make it himself. A man that lodges this type of complaint is nothing but a b*tch.

I understand that Italy has separate rules, but come on. It is 2016. We are all equal in the eyes of whichever god/goddess you believe/don't believe in. If she escapes jail time, she needs to divorce his b*tch ass, and move to the US.
You are no slave, honey. Hold your head high and live your life.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.
