I will try to keep this brief.
My sons (16 and 18 y/o) seem quite uninterested in spending time with me lately... I understand that I can come off as "strict", but I do it out of their interests. I want to see them grow up big and strong.
I feel like part of the issue is our "lack of solid communication." I do not speak English as a first language and my sons have been educated in English since birth. They are avid Internet users as well so they often use words and phrases I cannot understand... I have tried playing MineCraft and Fort-Nite with them but it is very difficult for me to keep up with youth culture...
What should I do to try and keep our bond strong? My husband is not having the same issues I am but he isn't treating our sons any differently than I am.
Thank you.
