As a parent of members of the "Me" generation, it is easy to see that "we" have tried to ensure that our children are not disadvantaged financially or materialistically. We have worked hard so that our children receive the best possible education which will ensure their future success. In all our selflessness, I wonder if we have not made our children disabled? Afterall, many young adults depend on their parents for assistance and suppport. Not only do they depend on it, a great deal of the time they just expect, and accept! Have we promoted and encouraged the disability called over-dependency? I believe it is a fair comment to state that kids of today are living at home for longer periods.
