Thanks mLeigh, I learned something when my D19 started her teen years. Whenever a teenager wants to talk to you about ANYTHING, no matter what you're doing, you need to stop and give them your attention. If you put them off or try and say "I'm busy, can we talk later?" they will never be ready when you are. It's just how they are at that age. It won't always be that way, as they get older they will change but until then you just have to realize that the times that they actually want your help won't come often so you have to always be ready. Do that long enough and they will see that you really do care, that they are important to you and will trust you and come to you more often. When you stop to think about it, what is more important than they are in the end? In a short time they will be adults and out on their own and you'll miss having them around wanting your time and attention!
