raising your parents ?

I was reading a friend's blog the other night.She was talking about being shocked at her parents wanting tattoos. Apparently,there was a big discussion about it over Christmas. It was so funny reading her story and really sensing her shock and disbelief. I guess the reason I really enjoyed it was because I could relate. As we "kids" get into our 20's and 30's does it seem like there are times you are raising your parents? I know it's seemed like this for me a few times. Don't get me wrong. I love my parents and I'm so thankful for the good relationship I have with them. I guess as you become grown and move out of your parents home and control,the relationship just becomes different. You see a different side to them and learn new things (some,I should add,you'd rather not have known ). anyone know what I'm talking about? I didn't think about this as something most "kids" go through until I read my friend's blog. So,know,I'm curious. Anyone reading this relating? i'd love for you to share your stories :)
Oh,by the way,don't EVEN get me started on the moment I realized my mom actually knew what she was talking about :) lol
