[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I see people and they ask what’s new, I tend to talk about my children. Oh “Larlo’s still in travel ball so busy with that” or “Larlie’s a college freshman” etc. One of my coworkers told me today that I never talk about myself when people ask me this, only my kids. I do it because I work full time and my kids pretty much are my life outside of that. Sad? So is that not an acceptable response and I need to focus more on myself?[/quote] Its fine to include these facts, but you also need to say something about yourself. I'm reading this book, I tried this restaurant, we're planning this trip, etc. You are not answering coworker's question by immediately talking about what your kids are doing. I don't think talking about your kids is off limits, but put yourself in the conversation. What's new? We dropped off Larlie at college last week, this past weekend I went to xx for a soccer game. While we were there I tried this restaurant, etc. [/quote]
