[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dinner most nights, shooting baskets in the driveway, occasional outings to the batting cages or a climbing wall, Friday Pizza and a movie, games of Uno, Not Parent Approved, etc (quick hands of a card game, basically).[/quote]

Are your teens really young? By 15 most wouldn’t do this stuff as a family unit. [/quote]

I'm the PP, ours does, happily. And yes he attends social events, sleepovers, hangs out with friends, etc. Again, not perfect parents by FAR, but these aren't hard.[/quote]

Ok but I’m trying to picture.  The whole family goes to the batting cages?  Opposite gender siblings?  And the whole family goes to the climbing wall?  I guess I’m trying to understand as we do a lot with our kids but just not the whole family. [/quote]

NP here-- opposite gender kids 15 and 12, so maybe you think that's on the younger side.  We as a family play games (Rummi Kubes, Perpetual Commotion), play ping pong, take walks/hikes, play tennis, and watch lots of TV and go out to movies and dinner.  Probably the thing we do the most together is watch TV, but it's awesome to be sprawled on a couch together and discuss what's going on.  Top Chef is one of the things we watch.  I'll watch more grown up things with the 15-year old, when I have time -- Friends, Riverdale -- whatever she's watching, she's usually happy to watch with me.  [/quote]
