[quote=Anonymous]My DD is a little younger (pre-teen) and I am trying hard to convince my husband to take her lead more on things she’s interested in. I also have a son, and it’s easy for DH and DS to play and watch sports together but DD and I are not really sporty, though I will run for exercise. But I am happy to throw/kick balls around with my son for hours and will watch some of his favorite teams. my DD has noticed this. We have ton of overlap in our interests so I do a lot of things with both of them so it’s very noticeable that DH doesn’t do things she likes often. It has taken a lot of thinking and trying stuff but now they both love doing The NY Times games together (Wordle, but also others, like strands and connections). They really enjoy it. I still think he should express more interest in her passions but it helps them to have some positive interactions and not just all the drama. But I worry she’s seeing that I as a woman am flexible and her dad is not. [/quote]
