"It's funny how we (teenagers & young adults) dont want to spend much time with our parents but when we are parents, we want to spend much time as possible with our children."-Me

SO TRUE -- especially when those selfish teens and young adults BECOME Parents -- then they RUN (not walk, RUN) to their own PARENTS (whom they made those nasty comments to and about) looking for them to TAKE the children ... PLEASE ... take the children Grandma!

I think it's a healthy development for teenagers to not want to spend too much time with their parents....but by young adulthood (and parenthood) that feeling should be subsiding. Family is important regardless of generation.

That comment is very true. What do I think about that? Well...Karma. We never really relize what our parents went through to raise us until we have kids. Then when we do; we relize that young ppl are more fun; so we still ignore OUR parents; and hope our KIDS won't treat us that way. But in all reality, they end up treating us the same way we treated our parents, because that's what we taught them to do. That's something to think about isn't it. The golden rule really will apply to one's life once they have kids. What goes areound comes around, and if we don't learn from history's mistakes; we are doomed to repeat them. Yes, these wise old sentences do related to what I've written....food for thought. Enjoy!

It never fails LOL

The process of aging creates two main paradoxes in our inter personal relationships with Our family members. Firstly we need to be accepted as an individual, ie., We must be allowed Our freedom to stand alone, and be Ourselves. Secondly, We perceive the need within Ourselves to still be a participant in the lives of those who are close to us, and about whom we really care,ie., sticking Our collective "nose" into other people's lives.
For several obvious reasons Your comment is both justified and worthy of note.

Put yourself in others shoes, be a good listener. I believe in spending quality time than spending the whole long days together just watching tv.

As a teen, you are focused on your friends, they are the most important thing in your limited focus. Once you reach adulthood, you realize that family is the most important thing. Friends come and go, family will be there forever.
