I also would have preferred to spend more time with my friends than with my parents. Due to conflict with my parents I have no real desire to talk more to them nowadays either. I think one of the reasons is because children are generally building their personality at high school, where as by the time we reach work we've already built over personality and we are no longer flexible.
