The Lazy Lebanese Generation: What kind of Parents will they make?

Kids are growing up fast, it's true, accelerating to start with, but then tapering off and stagnating in their 20s/30s: when they tend to live at home, not cooking or cleaning or looking after a house til they marry. and even then still depending on the old structure.
