[quote=Anonymous]Hi, Op

First this is totally normal and many kids are either too tired to talk about their day or there were too many things that happened for them to adequately answer the question.  Think about your day.  Do you remember lots of details or only the broad strokes ie had a meeting with Larla, ate lunch with Bob, learned about X.   I think you would get tired if your husband/wife constantly wanted to go over lots of detail in your day..."But, then what happened after you met Bob for a meeting?"

Btw, I totally get why you want to hear about your child's day!  So, I understand your frustration.  But, I also recognize that my kids have their own world and it is ok for me not to know every single detail ( or even most)  You know your child is doing well academically and has friends so there is no worry in that.  My advice would be accept what they want to tell you and back off with the questioning every day.  Start by telling your DC about your day and see if that helps.  My kids ( now teens) have some quiet moments and then will tell me everything!  It may just be your child's personality and there is not much you can do about that![/quote]
