""Walking past my son's room last night and I hear him talking to a girl on the phone and says "I don't really interact with my family. I just come home, go to my room and then wake up and go to school in the morning". It really threw me for a loop because I didn't think of it that way at all," she admitted."
""...he leaves for school at 6:30 AM, he has sports until around 5 PM, he's in the kitchen five times a night to eat, and the rest of the time is spent in his room, talking to girls on FaceTime or playing video games. The most time I get with him alone each week is taking him to the gym on weekends or the 15 minute ride to/from practice," she continued."
A mother overheard her teenage son tell a friend that he doesn't really interact with his family and mostly comes home to his room. She tracked his routine and found he leaves for school at 6:30 AM, has sports until around 5 PM, briefly visits the kitchen to eat several times, and spends most remaining time on FaceTime or playing video games. The only sizable one-on-one time is weekend gym trips or short rides to practice. Managing four children with different activity schedules makes shared family meals rare. Other parents report similar patterns and often view it as a normal phase of adolescence.
