I kinda just realized I never really talked much to parents besides the occasional mentions about school or news…

Which is likely why my first language kinda never developed beyond like 1st grade lexicon, since I use English outside of home, and also its the most common language on the internet most websites and media is English, its the lingua franca of the world…, so I never really got to use my first language much, not much conversations. Or perhaps its the other way around? Maybe the language barrier that caused me to not really able to have a conversation with my parents in the first place. Idk.

So… yea… relationship-wise nowadays… not that close… the reason is kinda self-evident lol

    I didn’t have many big conversations with my parents, but we did have many little interactions throughout every day.

    Now with my own kids, I find that I have just as many big conversations, but there aren’t as many small interactions. Everybody just has their devices and aside from sitting together at dinner, we don’t cross paths with each other as often.
