My son is 19, he still lives with us while going to culinary school. We have a great relationship, but I still miss spending time with him because he likes to mostly stay to himself when he is home.
He introduced me to a mobile game (Monster Hunter Puzzle), and we have been so addicted together. Checking in on each other’s islands and quests and such, it’s been so much fun!
I am super grateful for this extra time with him. I know he will move out soon and start his life in earnest. But for now, we quest.
It can be hard to connect with parents at that age. I hope I can be lucky enough to keep a little fun between us when he gets there.
