always seemed to me that the american family nucleus was not as strong as it is in arab culture. 

surprised i have seen the opposite.

parents in OC are much more involved with their children than most parents in the ME, where access to cheap live-in help & drivers means delegating most redundant kid related tasks.

but here is the result.

children in the arab world stick with parents for longer. 

americans push for independence at 18. 

now thinking the reason for this divergence is possibly the burn out associated with the fact american parents spend 100% of their free time (physically & mentally) with their kids from 1 to 18.

This is an interesting observation (cheap access to help and drivers) that I feel applies to many families in Latin America. But times are changing in LATAM and there is less cheap help. Do not know how the future will look like.
