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.
That’s really cute and nice of you both to make the effort and try to find common activities ! Something like this that worked with my much younger brother was cooking desserts. He’s not a very talented cook, and very rarely tries a recipe on his own, but whenever I tell him in advance that I wanna do a brownie or a crumble, etc… with him, he gets really excited and we end up having great results (even though he does maybe 10% of the work lol)
