Have nothing to say to my mum
My relationship with my mum is pretty solid, she's cool, we get on and I never had that phase of distancing myself as a teenager but i still find that despite the fact that I love her and we rarely argue I find we have very little to talk about
She isn't into music, not enough to talk about it anyway same for films, we talk about her day and her work etc, im currently unemployed and when i go out with friends we do normal things so no work or hobbies to talk about on my part,
sometimes we're watching TV and it sparks a long discussion so incidental conversations are fine but the problem is if we go for a meal or meet up for a coffee, we went to a coffee shop the other day and I realised we have nothing to say in situations like that, very brief strained conversations about the coffee and the shop followed by awkward silences then conversations we've already had a hundred times
Iin? Would you day this isn't as close as a relationship as I thought or is this just normal for families? Now the next time we go to meet for a meal or a coffee I'll be wondering and worrying about what to say to avoid awkward silences
