We have three children (all adults now), none were like that, guess we were lucky.

Who do I see about getting my lost 2:12 minutes back?   I'm too old to waste time on that stuff.

It's the current generation, Williamson.  We were both lucky, having ours in their teens in the 80s and 90s (and ours largely in PNG, which also helped). When I see the lip stud there, my preconceptions and assumptions all go "pop" at once.  Sad and old, I know, but sometimes further experience confirms my expectations.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I certainly have my moments....I also have two at home!!   It's the electronic age, didn't really have a problem with my older boys.

You waited that long........I'm not sure if I made the 1 minute mark.

I think my grand-kids might fall into this group though there is hope for one of the twin girls. She at least finished high school and done one or two aged care courses.
