[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 460720, member: 12241"] I think you definitely have a point there. Just think about where we were at the ages of some of our kids - we had our own place [or roommated successfully], made and paid our own bills, worked a decent well maintaining job or on establishing careers. Going away for a weekend was a treat; visiting with friends or family was something you enjoyed [mostly, LOL]; vacation something to look forward to all year long, and being glad about having a decent car and maintaining it. Some of us were married and had kids that we took care off, many had kids and worked. Thinking back - the world was that big shiny bubble just waiting to be explored. Nowadays it seems they are just bored and blase` about everything. And many are still looking at us parents for support and as a giver of things [money, gifts, cars, furniture, clothing, free baby sitting or a place to live, etc]. For fairness reasons - it seemed to be so much easier to make ends meet when I was in my 20ies - I worked considerably less hours than I do today, and made more money [relatively anyways - there was much more left at the end of the month after expenses were met - and that was doing nothing exciting or having a high end income].
