As long as we are using personal anecdotes as proof.... I have some too. 
My two kids, boy and a girl. Boy has always worked and been 'responsible' from a young age. Daughter, not so much. Took her a while to figure out she would have to work and couldn"t expect the rest of the world to pick up her slack. Eventually she did, but she was pushing 30.
My friend has two kids, a boy and girl, both in their 20s. Girl is goal-oriented, responsible, takes care of her own stuff. The boy, not so much.
Anecdotes don"t really mean much, though.
I have some anecdotes too but not for my family personally. How come all the socialist (read - Entitled) European countries with work/life balance and heavy taxation aren't falling apart economically and have such better standard of living and happier citizens?
How come the US has so much more maternal mortality than the rest of the developed world even though their healthcare is private and top tier? How come their taxation is slightly below ours yet their citizens have so little compared to ours?
What measure should we really be using to assess a country's performance when it comes to taxation and providing for its citizens?
