After another call with my mum, where I was "fighting" not to be treated like a little boy who needs something, I was considering that probably we will never "switch".
Maybe, we will never be able to make that "switch" our parents made versus their parents.
Their parents went through one or two wars, our parents lived in a "renascent" era. Our parents grew up, built a life through a new future, and were able to become the adults that took care of their parents.
So, they made the "switch", they become the one on charge and their parents accepted it.
Instead, we are a continuum of our parents, no major "break" happened, they feel they are always in charge...and most of us like this sensation of having someone that can take care of us ;)
How strong are we?

Looks like our generation did not overcame the adolescent period. The break you mentioned drive to a fight that our generation did not have or experienced with our parents one. We can find a lot of excuses however we accepted the model they built for us, we found it comfortable and they are still driving us…. We look at the world with the mindset of our parents. Time is over for a change? Never say never. Hope our kids will not make the same mistake.
