Not wanting to do anything in the holidays

I was looking forward to the holidays until I realised that my kids don’t want to go out anywhere at all, they would happily spend the 6 weeks at home not leaving the house whereas I had all these days out planned but they don’t want to go. they will come out for food but that is it and I can’t afford to eat out regularly as it cost a fortune and they are past the age of parks well the older ones are they always say how boring it is and how they are for babies. is anyone else’s kids the same? I know it’s just “teens” or so people say but they are younger teens so was hoping they’d be interested in doing more things

Don't they play football with friends or go out on bikes? They sound like oddballs..

They sound like normal teens to me.

Normal teens nowadays, yes, but incredibly weird to my generation.
