Hating Your Parents

I know you use your kids as a tool for being more special, but I must admit there seems to be something going around of kids despising their parents or feeling too close to really get close.  It seems almost like a law of nature.  I used to like being cozy with my parents, but I eventually found other people to be more mushy and to affect me like that and I liked it a lot but with my parents I was used to holding myself in and being serious, for some reason.  Well, my mom is Chinese-Indonesian and my dad is a little Native Amercian.
