Well, it's not that different these days. It's obvious that kids raise their parents and not the other way. As a school teacher I can see lots of stuff similar to this. Only one thing doesn't change in this modern world: kids are always right. From what I can see, parents are so 'lost' in this modern world, that their kids are their only way out of it and from any problem. So, they choose to give them everything, and right, whether they are wrong or right.
What about your story? Well, I like the way you write. It's very nice and simple and THE MOST IMPORTANT: it's easy to read it. There are stories when you start with them, you give up very soon. But not here: it's very 'readable'. Nice!
