So I just finished talking to D13. It's bedtime and she told me about her dreams and ideas. I listened and even though most of it wasn't interesting to me, I remembered what was interesting to her and gave her feedback on her topics.
I remembered how she said that mom didn't seem to care about her interests. I did, and I listened.
IN the end, I thought about the difference between W and I. We both love our kids. No question about that. But I listen to them and she talks a them without really listening.
I don't judge them, I give them advice and suggestions. She trys to fix them even when they don't ask for fixing.
We can't be together because of this big 'difference'. I can understand that. What I can't understand is why I 'get it'. and she doesn't.
