Travel Talk
Never is there a time that most holds to the term “captive audience” as traveling in the same car no reception. It could get very uncomfortable with the wrong traveling companions. But it becomes quite the most empowering time with those who are sensitive and caring. It has always been a time for my family to examine the most exciting of topics. Feeling the love in the vehicle, we take turns asking the group questions we might feel uncomfortable asking anyone else in the world. I think my son and daughter were honest and open to the conversation.
My personal question was: What do my adult children need/want from me as a mother now? It is a deep question for me. I read deeply and asked a million questions when I was pregnant or raising my offspring. But there are few books or examples out there now to emulate. I’d love my bloggy friends to help with this question. Anyone have some answers?
Meanwhile, if talk is the best thing to do while traveling through low radio/data reception areas, these people should have been the closest companions ever:
Or were there always distractions or other ways that families did to NOT communicate?
This is my attempt at the #AtoZChallenge. I think I am nearly caught up. (fingers crossed)
We generally rock out in the car. Sometimes when the kids sleep, we talk, but less often now, since they sleep in the car less.
I don’t think there’s a specific thing all adult children want. I think continued love and support surely tick everyone’s boxes 🙂
Yeah, rock out in the car has always been there, even now. It is interesting how their tastes have changed and how often they say they are old. I sit there wondering if they think I’m ancient! And yes, love and support are always there, just ways to show it that don’t demean their maturity, not an easy thing to do. 🙂
It’s tricky, I concur. If they’re still visiting, ya did good 😉
