Are (US) Americans the most immature men in the world?

She speaks out astutely and eloquently against the rise of therapy bollocks and the attempt to medicalise every last aspect of childhood.

Yup: Immature ------> Special Needs

That's correct.

Do you think it's better if a married couple would live in a big house (or preferably an own house) nearby with idk husband's parents so their children grow with their grandparents and help raising them while parents work in parallel with kindergarten? In modern world such thing is probably in the vast majority of cases impossible since people move and find jobs far from home.

The first house my parents had was big. Until I was 4 my grandmother, grandfather, aunt, and obviously parents lived in that house. My grandmother watched me while everyone was at work until I was 3. I went to pre-school a year earlier so I could learn English.

I think it's pretty cool and beneficial to have so much family living under the same roof as long as the family dynamics aren't toxic. I remember being happy.

I would say it's difficult but in some areas, it's more difficult than others. In the case of my uncle and aunt, they moved to be near my cousin and her family.

That being said, some cultures do baby their young adults. The US isn't one of them.

Not sure about that. Isn't "helicopter parenting" actually a pretty common phenomenon in the US?

I think it's exaggerated. I certainly never saw it except... with my own mother who isn't American.

The issue with American kids is poor social skills and getting fat because they spend too much time playing video games instead of being outside.

Yeah, and it's something I've been saying for a while: now everything has to be traumatic, at this point if you got no mental issues in the US then you are the weird one. I think it also got to do with pharma lobbies as well as they do with guns.

There is something rather dissonant about a society that, on the one hand, is always encouraging people to "feel their pain" and "open up", no matter how dubious, and on the other hand which worships gun ownership and regards healthcare free at the point of usage to be an affront to freedom...

As some former member (he was SA brit I think) once pointed out: "The US got the best and the worst".

I sort of agree. But the problem is, given the USA's exceptional global power, they export their worst aspects as well as their best ones.
