Anyone else find their adult dc a bit boring?

I use different technology from them, am not an Apple person. So my eyes glaze over when they go on about apps. I would expect theirs would glaze over if I started nattering about my 3D modelling programmes, too.

FaceBook, Tweets..... and silly videos on phones. I just tell my younger stepson not to bother!

Good job we love them eh Terribull

It can get worse than dead rock stars roses, that son thinks Jeremy Corbyn would make a good PM yes really! We never fall out about politics though.

It's hard when you've not a lot of common ground (local knowledge, people etc). Work tends to be the default position. My mum used to tell me stories of people I was at school with, they always were at school with one of my sisters; she never believed me! Try and put together a list of topics interesting to both of you. When your children are with you, just enjoy them enjoying each other's company.

Definitely not boring. All very different with their own interests but I can happily chat for a good couple of hours with each one of them.
I really appreciate the fact that, at the moment, they all live locally and I see them 2/3 times a week.
We're never short of conversation - from kids to cocktails, jobs and plans, shopping and diy, politics and dogs!!!

If I'm really honest, yes sometimes, not often. One can drone on about football and how his team are doing, he does share this with his father, they support the same team. I wish I could care slightly about sport, the Olympics being an exception, but I just don't. He also moans constantly about his ex, her extended family and the endless arguments they have over the children. The other one gets on pet subjects, which can range from music, emails at work, work colleagues. A favourite one, he was in his teens at the time, were rock stars who died at 27 Kurt Cobain etc., how they died, their mental state at the time. We were in a hotel restaurant in America and he managed to keep a conversation on this subject going for an hour, well we were just listening really. My husband was wearing a very glazed expression, when son asked permission to go up to watch tv in his room, we said in unison with a sigh of relief "please do". Having said all that, they also entertain me and make me laugh a hell of a lot too.

No - my DS is a computer games designer and writing his first novel, so he uses us as feedback - we share his interest and I'm trained as a proof-reader/editor and software tester, so feel useful. What's more, he's got a wicked SOH, so keeps us smiling, if not always laughing out loud!

My mum (aged 93) thinks I'm boring because I'm not constantly banging on about religion. That's her only interest. My needlework, gardening, books, crafts, cats... none of them interest her! "Boring" is a subjective term, I suppose.

Definitely not!

Yep. I find my kids to be extremely boring. In fact, a few days before I see them i have to write down a little list of topics to talk about with them so that we can have some sort of interesting interaction. They are very 'normal' middle of the road types.
I dunno where we went wrong

We're a very loving family but very different. I have high hopes for the grandkids though!

My son can occasionally be boring when he gets on one of his pet subjects (work included), but he quickly gets told ?.

Far from boring! I like to hear about what's going on in their lives. And we do get onto the topic of politics on which we broadly agree! My DiLs are both interesting - very different careers: one is deputy head of a comp and the other a supermarket manager.

Another 3 non boring ACs here. If we are all together or just me and any one of them we seem to find so much to chat about and each one shares particular interests. I know I am very fortunate.

Boring?? my three never in a million years and when they are all together I would be glad of a pair of ear defenders sometimes, they chatter away so much.

Ours only talk about work if we ask them how it's going.

They're loads of fun and talk about anything and everything.

Boring? Never!

Love to hear about their work, we have a good moan and swap stories. Usually ending up in fits of laughter putting things into perspective.

Not at all boring! I love hearing about them and their lives and I have two dils and one sil as well. It's like a window into other worlds to hear them talk about their work.

One of my daughters does obsess about her work at the moment but she's in the throes of being made redundant by Christmas so every little development is news I feel bad wishing she would 'JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT' sometimes. Usually she's full of chat and news as is her sister but their brother isn't a chatterer by any stretch of the imagination but certainly not boring.

At times yes as my DS has the ability to teach people to suck eggs, other times he is great company.

No, we all share the same rather black sense of humour.

Definitely not - I can barely keep up with their full lives and general chatter!

No, never boring. They all love to cook and talk about cooking, recipes, and market finds. Three love to travel and always have a scheme for breaks. And there's always talking about their children and children's children, brilliant.

Well DS is a morris dancer and academic and DD is a skilled needlewoman and traveller, so no, I do not find them boring.

My 3 are not at all boring - annoying, caring, bossy and always funny and entertaining but never boring
