Dear J.K.
Yes, you are right about new generation, as parents always like to have their own children listen to the opinion and take the suggestion, but, 9 out of 10, those new generation won't do it, they live in their ownself center, most of time they don't consider others feeling, thinking, don't respect the older. I think they take it as grand it, don't know how to appreciate whatever they have, some of them are also " give-me " type ; of course, not each single one, they may change a little bit after they have their own children.
I only can say it's tougher to be parents than Taiwan.
