It's not just the little kids that sometimes behave inappropriately towards their parents. Grown up children here tend to speak to their parent disrespectfully imo. I have heard heaps of examples of kids ordering their parents (the boludos) around or speaking to them in a petulant manner. If I spoke like that to my parents, my dad would take me down to Chinatown quick sticks.
I am in my 30s now and I have an adult / adult relationship with my folks. But I notice here that grown up kids still have a child / parent relationship with their own parents. Namely, parents here may tend to drive their kids around a bit, wash their clothes, give them food / money or do other tareas for them on a regular basis. Grown men and women don't really do this where I come from.
Back home, parents bring up their kids and give them the skills and tools to fend for themselves later on in life. Here the parents protect and look after their kids in the same ways well into adulthood.
All generalisations as well of course.
