Entitled dependence

I've just read an article 'New Syndrome Defined: Grown-up Kids Who Won't Leave Home'. The psychologists formulated the term 'entitled dependence'. In Australia these young people are called 'boomerang children'. I also like the Italian 'bamboccioni'. In the photo above the young kangaroo was in fact warned and invited by Mum's open pouch to hide when she spotted a man with his big dog (fortunately on leash) and reacted as every overprotective mother would.
