[quote=Anonymous]I have boys so don't get a lot of daily talk that friends with girls seem to get but I often get " mom, can I talk to you." When that happens, I know it is big/ important so at least I know they feel comfortable with me and really confide. My DH is great dad but they only want to discuss feelings with me for some reason. Their requests are usually at 9/ 10pm when I am most tired but I will sit until midnight and listen. And have! i am a talker/ feeler so have tried all the lists of questions, printed out slips to choose at dinner, Etc. but they just really talk when they want to. They are teens so often driving them to thngs but even then not talkative so we listen to music and one will often tell me things about the artist. I do have a " rule" that they cannot be on phone in car looking at things -- and other times too but this one I have to really remind them as it is easy to just start looking at it on way to practice. i still always say "how was your day, how did the test go, and anything I need to know about?" Also, I try and share a funny or interesting thing about my day as well! [/quote]
