[quote=Anonymous]OP, look up the stock phrase "companionable silence". I love this idea. My teen son is grumpy a lot and when he's grumpy he sometimes fakes flat affect. It's like a mask of uncaring. He keeps it up at school but it's like a balloon that can be popped by the right joke. I enjoy companionable silence. You might also come to appreciate it if you learn more about how people feel during it. There is a cliche: "Your presence is the present". That's what your daughter is offering you: her presence. It's enough.[/quote]
