I’m in this predicament with my soon-to-be 15-year-old son.

    You’re telling me you can’t appreciate art, eating food your son has made, or playing a simple game like the Sims or Minecraft? What do you like then?

    And if he’s like his mother, how do you get along with her?

      What do I like? Hm, I like playing soccer, I like working out at the gym, I like going fishing, camping and hunting, I like woodwork and tinkering around the house, I like yard work and gardening, I like riding my bike and motorcycle, hiking, etc. well, my wife enjoys doing any activity as long as we’re together, my son isn’t like that.

        I hear so many opportunities in there. He likes painting, you like woodworking, make wood panels to paint, and design the ideas together—you could even paint them while camping and drawing inspiration from what you see. You like gardening, he likes cooking, collaborate on home grown meals together. Hell, you can even design an elaborate garden in the Sims.

        There are opportunities to step into each others world and see what fits, but you have to step into his just as much as he steps into yours.
