Please contemplate these thoughts.
--The average woman starts her child bearing years around 13, and finishes around 40 (approx.). [This is a fact that has not changed since the birth of mankind. We may have extended our life span, but a woman’s child bearing years have not been extended]
--In the 1800’s, many 35 year olds were grand parents, if they lived that long. (This is truth, not a myth)
--It would appear that in the 1800’s the parents had influence on the child, merely for the first 13 years.
--It would appear that in the 1900’s the parents had influence on the child for the first 20 years.
--It would appear that in the year 2006 the parent’s can’t get their 30 year olds to move out.

It is my perception that even though the “nesting” period has been elongated; the parent’s ability to influence the child has diminished.

It is my perception that even though the “nesting” period has been elongated, the child’s receptiveness to the parents influence and re-enforcements have diminished.

The lack of hardships currently experienced in our society contributes to our extended lifespan and population growth.

Do you think
1. Lack of parental influence has contributed to interest in the “ALT” lifestyles
2. Lack of hardships in a persons life would contributed to interest in the “ALT” lifestyles
3. Longer life has contributed to interest in the “ALT” lifestyles
(Yes or no, please elaborate)

How about "none of the above"?

As someone who works with at-risk adolescents as a career, I'd have to say that lack of parental influence probably at least contributes a little bit, yes. A lot of our kids come in with all sorts of alternative views, lifestyles, etc. (Granted, some of them are just going through phases and won't maintain thier involvement.) But I think that a lot of our kids choose alternative lifestyles and views because they see it as an alternative way to get their needs met. If their needs: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, aren't being met inconventional ways, they will look to what society deems "unconventional" ways to get them met.

This isn't to say that everyone who participates in an alternative lifestyle was neglected as a child, or even that most were. But I think that people who, throughout childhood, had to look for "alternative" ways of getting their needs met are more likely to look for alternative ways to get them met as adults.
