[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should do something with him. Give him a budget and ask him to plan something based on his interest. Just because it’s not driven by organized sports doesn’t mean it’s not a worthwhile activity. I think he has a point! And you are missing out on time with him and cultivating his interests, whatever they are. Sounds like you have the resources to do so but just arent valuing it because it’s not building his college resume.

We told our kids we’d do one solo trip with each parent for during their teen years. Itineraries for those ended up being driven by interests in food (city food tour), record breaking rollercoasters, fishing, and music concerts. Sounds like you judge your kid for not having strong interests in things you value. Use this as a chance to get him to think about his interests, do something related to them, and for you to demonstrate to him that you value him for who he is.[/quote]

This. OP you say you love him for who he is but it does not come across that way. The feeling of being valued is what he is really missing is my guess. [/quote]
