[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 484516, member: 6705"] Onyxx was very gung-ho about me reading the [I]Twilight[/I] series. So I did, in the interest of common ground. Immediately it became stupid. We've tried that with artsy-craftsy stuff, too. I tried with music (as did husband). Movies - husband. Anything we get into, that she likes? Is no longer interesting, or good, but "stupid" (I can't use the actual words). Now, some of this is typical teen - to quote, "if more parents liked Madonna she wouldn't be half as successful"... But with our kids, it goes beyond that. The most difficult part is [I]finding[/I] something to try when they won't open up to you... [/QUOTE]
