isn't it funny?
My parents are from that generation. I can tell you absolute horror stories about the way they were raised. My father had about the worst upbringing imaginable: a horribly mean, abusive alcoholic father and his mother died when he was in his early teens. Was kicked out of the house at 14 and made it on his own. Turned into, literally, the nicest man I've ever known.
I really do think there's something to be said for instilling responsibility in young adults.
