I think it may have something to do with the age of the parent when the child is born. My folks had my brother at the age of 26.....me at the age of 31. He was way more of a "problem" than I was. ( He did turn out good tho ).
My wife and I were 32 when our first was born. ( a son ). Then a daughter 3 years later. We were better off money wise and had "grounded" ourselves.
I like to think we have instilled some values in their lives that we live by. They show respect to others and there have been NO big problems so far ( knock on wood ).
We still have a learning curve here as things are way different than when we were kids, but we still insist on some things: hard work and honest dealings with others.
I better stop now or I will get on a BIG rant about the "youth" of today.
