[QUOTE="Sabine, post: 619315, member: 17639"] I find it interesting that most of these stories are written by people that are now in the "grandparent" age range. I'm in a bit younger age group.. still in the "parent" age range. This is important because I'm seeing some similarities in the stories that reflect strongly in my family tree. The "parents" in most of the stories were born in the early 1900's (maybe up to 1930), right? They tended to be very strict.. my way or the highway types. The "children" were probably born around 1950 or so, and then went the "other" direction in raising their own children (in the 1980s) becoming very laid back and permissive. The '80s children are now having trouble gaining independence and taking responsibility for their actions. My maternal grandmother was born in 1913 and was very strict. My mother was born in 1952 (Grandma started her family late because of WWII) and was very permissive. I was a child of the 80's and am more unmotivated than I should be.. These family dynamics are society-wide, culturally based. It's not a coincidence. [/QUOTE]
