My teens don't always talk to me about what's going on with their life, but I do think we have a pretty good line of communication going right now. After my son told me about his long-distance calls, we talked about dating and other things. I think we had a really good discussion--even though he is growing away from me, we still have a good mother-son bond. I know he won't tell me EVERYTHING, but it was nice to have a good two-way conversation with him. Sometimes it feels more one-sided with me just lecturing him--this time it felt more reciprocal. Talking to teens isn't an easy thing to do, but it is SO worthwhile! :)
