[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 670468, member: 11791"] The classical conversation with a teenager: Parent: Where did you go: Teenager: Out Parent: What did you do? Teenager: Nothing As parents, we seem to be programmed to [I]ask a whole bunch of questions[/I]. Which our kids then take as not trusting them, or being invasive on their personal space, or just plain annoying. The more specific the question, the more pushback we seem to get. And that's from [I]typical[/I] teenagers. Once this pattern is developed, I'm not sure how to change it in a long-distance relationship. It's hard enough to do when they are still living under your roof. [/QUOTE]
