I was definitely raised where we didn't spend much family time together after a certain point. With dual income parents, part-time job, extra-curriculars and friends, I hardly saw my family. But, I guess my Southern parents had ingrained the manners early enough in, as they've stuck with me (or so I think). I think you have made an interesting point, but it’s hard for me to say.

Age at times is only a number, but maturity can truly identify us in an "Age Group" Sherle,

You have touched into another one of my observations, I have never written about it but I will in the near future. Age at times is only a number, but maturity can truly identify us in an “Age Group”

I have noticed change over the years... you can even see it in the supermarket. These are mostly 25-35 or even 40 year-olds!!! They did NOT grow past teenage rebellion!!! The look the other way and expect YOU to move out of their way. I'm talking about me being old enough to be their mother & almost - grandmother!!! No Respect! I have learned from them. I recognize them when I see them. I can feel & smell their aura. I look the other way and HA HA HA!!! They actually have to go around me!!! Interestingly enough I am finding some of the younger people (high school & college age) once again showing respect when I look them in the eye! But those others? They have not grown up.

I say leave well enough alone. I mean, what happens if your wife encourages her to say hello and then she starts rebelling by refusing to say hello?!? Then you are right back where you started, my friend. And that is bad news . . .

Growing up has lots to do with getting from other people, other cultures, my people and my culture those things wich will help me grow a better person, and also to let go what stops me from being better. Reading this post reminded me of another post, from Kamilo Klauss. Here it is, if you don't mind reading in spanish. http://kaklop.blogspot.com/2005/11/el-castigo-como-herramienta-pedaggica.html As well as it is important for teenagers to come through this rebelion fase (one should brake the “cordon umbilical” ), it is also important to rejoin familly.

Many of my friends went through a rebellion phase, but we've returned to the family fold. As an example, someone had a post about Johnny Cash on their blog the other day and I commented how a lot of my friends and I started rejecting country music when we were growing so we could seem less Southern and "more cool." Now, many years later, I realize how stupide it was to reject parts of my culture, but now I've run back to embrace them more than ever. I think it’s kind of a case by case thing really.
