[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 15, I would have 1-million-times rather hung out with adults than pre-teens.  I spent many, many evenings chilling with my mom and her long-term bf and other friends over dinner, homework at the kitchen counter while they had drinks (this was before cell phones or other devices).

My 15yo DC is the same way. Any gathering with kids and adults, he heads straight for the adults. And converses nicely with us! I honestly don't censor what we say around him. Maybe I'm just super boring and wouldn't normally talk about things that would be inappropriate for a 15yo ... but really, what is? I don't censor his reading, movies, .... we talk about questionable stuff so that he knows my views on it, but nothing is off limits. [/quote]

So you may not be censoring, but your friends are certainly not bringing up their own kids' new Prozac prescription, their marriages, their spouse's recent layoff and resulting financial stress, their new boyfriend who they just started sleeping with, and so on. Glad you feel like everyone is happy to talk about White Lotus and Euphoria with ease. No one is sharing personal details around your teen who insists on hanging. [/quote]
