[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else annoyed by all this perfectness? Piano playing? Hiking together? Deep talks at farmers market?[/quote]

You want a real answer... here you go.

My teen wakes up at 1pm and goes to the basement to binge watch something. I bring him "breakfast".

Around 5pm he comes up from the basement and says are we doing anything today. Sometimes we are going to a cookout, sometimes not.

If I say we are going somewhere he showers and we go.
If I say we are not going anywhere he asks if I will order Chinese and we watch a movie together.

I go to bed at 9 and he plays video games until midnight. [/quote]

Is this a real post, or a troll?[/quote]

No PP, but not likely a troll. My DS sleeps til 1pm at any opportunity. Would play PS2 for the next 6 hours straight if allowed, punctuated by food breaks. I would also be in bed at 9, but scanning DCUM til 10.

I doubt it's a troll. More like a realistic description (except I bet he stays up later than midnight) of what a lot of teens do and have always done when left to their own devices. It's not that different (barring existence of Internet) from what my friends and I did as teens forty years ago. Once we were old enough we got summer jobs, and as soon as we had drivers licenses we could extend our range of activities. Not everyone has the money to spend on endless camps and enriching activities. [/quote]
