[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would not be happy if my child is so busy they don't want to spend time with me. Maybe that speaks volumes to you but my teen still loves to spend time with me. [/quote] It does mean a lot to me, but maybe my kids are older than yours? If a 17 year old just wants to hang out with mom most of the time, and doesn't have a lot of friends and a job and activities, I'd be concerned. It's time for them to move off into adulthood and separate from me and fly. They always know they can come home if they need a safe place and I am here for them, but I shouldn't be their course of social life at this stage. They should be off doing things with others their age - that's the whole goal of raising an emotionally healthy child.[/quote]
