Choosing family over friends
Though we may think of the teen years as very selfish years when one only thinks of themselves, and of pleasure, it appears some of that wears off by early adult years. Studies have found that young adults would prioritize a choice that benefited their parents over their friends, if they were forced to choose. Additional research found that the majority of parents feel cut off from friends during early parenting years, and one study found friendship bonds often decrease during early parenthood. So whether it’s towards one’s parents or children, early adulthood pulls one’s attention towards family and away from friends.
