Our cost of /standard of living requires the delay of official "adulthood" status for more years than almost any other culture. I know of plent of 25 yr olds who are still students, still living to greater or lesser extent on their parent's dollar.
Americans are going to have to rethink their lifestyles soon in order to even feed themselves, let alone worry about what clothes their daughters are wearing. It seems we Americans think we are too good for everyone else, the only justification I have ever seen is that we have a better standard of living. That boils strictly down to one thing, money. Someday hopefully we get over that, because it is a poor indicator of anything.
We shelter our children. We make it way too easy on them and allow them to be run by media influence.
Have you had, or plan to have a realistic sex talk with your children? The real birds and bees? Not just, a mommy and daddy make love and thats where babies come from!
I see sexual, personal and general human repression running rampant in America. Though all of that is just shrugged off or dealt with because we have a "better standard of living".
Yet people will sell everything they own and risk their very lives to reach our shores.It is natural for parents to want their children to grow to adulthood and to have a better life than they did.
