How much time does your teenage DD spend with you?

My teenage DD 16 is constantly out- either working, with her boyfriend, with her sister or with her friends. She keeps us up to date where she is and we can see her on life 360- I'm not worried about where she is. She has a lot of friends and does lovely things with everyone- concerts, markets, days in London etc. I am really happy she had a group to hang out with and they are all lovely, as is her boyfriend.
However, we don't get to see her much. We have a few days over Xmas where we will all be at home but also with more family members, an afternoon booked in to make biscuits and a family day out.
I realise this is part of growing up and becoming independent but for those of you with teenage dd, how much time do you spend with them?

Well she’s 20 now and goes away to uni but we didn’t most evenings together. She’s not particularly social and prefers it. Tomorrow she’s got a day out with a friend but she won’t want to see anyone fur a few days after that.
But your child is obviously completely different and enjoys being busy and out and about. That’s the way some people are! I’d embrace that!
