I have discovered that when you have teenagers your time with them mostly surrounds their activities. I am super grateful that I get lots of entertainment from my kids. I get to alternately watch soccer, cheer (along with football and basketball going on in the background) and equestrian.
These activities also dictate a lot of our travel and I love the opportunity to travel all together but more often than not one on one with one of my teens.
We don’t always share much verbal communication on these jaunts but the physical presence is there, the opportunity for conversations big or small.
Is it expensive? Yes. For sure. Especially as a solo parent much of the time. But so worth it.
