Daughter doesn't want to spend Saturday with me. Instead just meeting for a meal. I'm so sad. Her dad tells me she just doesn't feel like it.

How old is your daughter? Maybe she's at that "cool" age where she doesn't need her parents. Or could she be sad, too? Sometimes I isolate when I am sad. I'm sorry though.

 Sorry. Does it happen frequently or was it just this occasion?

It was just this once. She explained she didn't want to run around after soccer. I feel a little better.

Communicating with our children is the best ingredient to a great relationship. The secret is in how we communicate.

16 is a hard age. Most teens would much rather hang out with friends than hang out with their parents. Totally normal. As long as you keep open communication with your daughter and let her know your around for if she does decide to hang out with you-the it’s all good.

Could it be that she feels bad about being criticized (her clothes, her weight, not wearing make up, not being religious etc)? My dad is very critical and although I don’t cut ties I keep interactions to a minimum. I used to call often but since every other time he has something critical to say, I avoid calling unless emergency. Probably going for a meal in a public place less likely will allow time and opportunities for any criticism, keep to a minimum yet continue relationship with one’s parent. Is it possible that’s the reason?
