You: I had mine when I was 24 . that β s a little young . I β d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties . , or even in your early thirties if you have a good career .
Person: Yes , I think you β re right . I β m thinking about having a child , but not just yet .
You: Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country ?
Person: Yes , there is . Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives . They want to go out , have fun , and explore the world . They want to develop their own view of life . Parents usually try to discourage them , but they don β t often succeed .
You: Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country . Sometimes they give them too much freedom .
Person: It β s almost impossible to get the right balance . If you are too strict , kids might ignore you . If you are too lenient , they might go wild .
