Perhaps the degree to which (most?) children rebel against their parents
relates to the extent to which parents attempt to impose their own values.
I'd guess you have some wonderful parents who did not impose too much
constraint of the ideological kind. I mean, you don't sound like the son of
Davidian-style fundamentalists (it makes me happy to report).
