Grin. The generation gap is always alive and well, I suppose. :)
When our #1 son was in Law School, he was home for vacation and actually thanked us for not pushing him so hard when he was in high school. He said he had friends at school who literally couldn't stand their parents, because they'd been so hard on them in high school to get good grades so they could possibly get scholarships. Our #2 son said the same thing over Christmas; that he was amazed as how many folks his age just didn't LIKE their parents. Made us feel good, I gotta say! ;o)
