[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very different take on all this. I have teenagers. When I ask them how they are doing or ask them anything about their life, they get irritated with me and/or leave the room. However, if I just start talking about something I think they may care about, they sometimes become more engaged. So I have now become conditioned to not ask about them and let them share when they are ready/willing. I imagine it will be this way at least until they are mid-twenties. By then, I may not realize that I need to start asking questions again to have a meaningful conversation. Your moms are just keeping the lines of communication open, hoping you will share your lives with them. [/quote] I don't think this is it (and I realize this is a zombie/revived thread). My mother has always been like this, and it has worsened as she has aged. I'm in my 50s so how she treated me as a teen is long forgotten. [/quote]
