There was a small crash out at my house with my oldest daughter about some of her choices in regards to her own two kids and ans one of her baby daddy. We had a difference of opinion. So that lead to an argument. She is 25, lives with me. So that lead to her, my 14 year old daughter and my 23 year old son having a pow wow about how we “the parents” don't listen to them. I always since they were young drove in their heads that they can always come to me and talk about anything, yet they don’t. I can’t read minds if they don’t come to me I can’t “listen”. I want them to feel heard, what does that look like? Mind you my generation was taught to be seen and not heard. There was no anxiety and mental health and gentle parenting. 😩
