Yes, but at the same time, this is a difficult time in young people's lives.
Let me use myself as an example. I know things are a two way street BUT
I just spent 18 years of my life living for someone else, living the way they wanted me to, so my way of thinking, aren't these years after turning 18 mine to get settled to my own life with? Isn't it MY time to start my own life and do things for myself instead of what someone else tells me I should do?
I know that inherently seems self centered but once your an adult if you don't start living your life for your self and the way you want to live it then is it any life worth living if its always dictated by someone else?
Honestly. No one is arguing this. The 20 yo should still be considerate of his mother and others. Live your life however the heck you want just be thoughtful. It's not that complicated.

You're missing what I am saying.
It's a hard time in some peoples lives. To focus on building yourself and even others who are so far away. You kinda gotta stay on them and there for them because eventually they'll work things out..
Its like patting your head and rubbing your stomach, two things at once, when you first start off you don't quite have the hang of it but you get into the groove after a little.

I'm not missing what you're saying. I'm staying on topic. The post was about the 20 yo who couldn't be bothered to take the time to keep in touch with his mother. If I recall, she wasn't complaining about him wanting to live his own life and make his own decisions. By 20, a person should understand the basics of consideration. At least most of the time.

If all this you say is true about "your" generation, then we all are in a bunch of do-do!!!
He is being disrespectful. You can still "find yourself" and show consideration to someone who cares and loves you regardless of age.
Don't get me wrong. If I had to choose one person to be stranded with on a desert island with(no, not like that), my son would be up at the top of the list behind my hubby. He's funny, interesting, polite, easy-going, I could go on and on.
Don't take this the wrong way Queen, you know I love ya.
But like my son, when confronted with a flaw or issue, you tend to offer up excuses instead of reasons. Like the thank-you card thing. It would be better if you just stood up and said, "This is an antiquated practice for most people of my generation. It's like leaving your calling card when visiting neighbors in the 19th century. Ya'll are behind the times." I think this would have been easier to accept for most than the cost breakdown.
People find money for their top priorities. I have a fantabulous wine collection that a lot of people would find extravagant. I don't make apologies for it, I say, "This is my priority, you go find yours."
