Found this article at Lies' blog, and it is very, very interesting.

Maybe some of the difficulties I had at work before were due to this generational differences.  Maybe it was just differences in character and objectives, but nevertheless I found it really insightful, as some of my work colleagues behave the same way.

Regardless of what the article says, no, I don't involve my parents in absolutely every decision in my life.  They raised me to be independent.  And yes, I'm getting married soon, so that also goes against the trend explained there (then again, I'm 26, which is closer to the current average age of marriage in the States).
