3. They probably work harder than us, but they don't have so much fun.

4. They live longer and longer and expect to be looked after. It's not fair.

5. Our parents aren't so different from us: they listen to the same music, for example.

6. In recent years old values like respect for wisdom and knowledge have been replaced by respect for money.

7. I rebelled against my parents. My children feel that they are expected to rebel, but in fact they have nothing to complain about or rebel against.
