This is worth the read overall (re: relationships between mothers and daughters), but an interesting nugget I pulled out was:  

A distinctive characteristic of the millennial generation is that we’re closer with our parents. Last year the president of MTV announced the network is overhauling its content because young people today are “not rebelling against their parents at all. They’re moving in with them. They don’t want to leave.”

 
I’m very curious why this is the case.  This has to be reflective of a broader cultural change.  Did the economic crisis make us more dependent?  Is this the natural conclusion to helicopter parenting?  Was the generation before just too fucking cool to not be best friends with?  Food for thought…
