Why are parents so controlling nowdays? (long)

[Unit 5302]

I think the most overlooked part of this attack on DemonGT is the fact that kids are self-indulgent because we can be. I see nothing wrong with being self indulgent when you don't have a family to feed, or a house payment, etc. You're not locked down as a young man at the age of 20 so you can feel free to enjoy that time.

Would any of you feel a little robbed of your youth had you skipped the years from 18-25 or 30? Those were great years too, weren't they? Would you give them up? I know I'm enjoying it now.

It seems as though some kind of bandwagon attack has ensued, which I feel is a little unnecessary. While almost all of us can agree to disagree with his feelings toward parents being over controlling in his case, and point out why, I really don't think a ongoing direct personal attack is warranted.
