[quote=Anonymous]My 15 year old teen runs upstairs as soon as she gets home to do homework.  I know she has a lot, but not THAT much. I'm sure she uses part of the time to mess around on her computer... She gets good grades (not all As but mix of A's and Bs) and i don't even mind her taking breaks and chatting with friends online or watching a video or whatever. But aside from dinner, we just NEVER see her.

I suggested she do her homework in the kitchen to keep us company while we prepare dinner and she looked at us like we were from Mars. We told her it was because we missed seeing her around, that it wasn't because we didn't trust her or whatever, but that we just miss her.

She rolled her eyes and was like, "um, NO.."

I know she wants her privacy and independence, but we really want to try to encourage more together time during the week. Does anyone have any suggestions that don't sound lame? I don't want to be a dictator and make her spend time just because WE miss HER. I'd love to hear some positive ways to try to encourage this.

She has a younger brother, 10, and we would like her to be around him some more, too. He also misses her.

Ideas?[/quote]
