Anyone else find their adult dc a bit boring?

With our 5 there is always something interesting going on - sometimes too much! They are always interesting and, importantly, interested.

teaching, nursing, social work or becoming a secretary
A bit more variety than suggested by our careers adviser then!

Teaching or the civil service was the only advice offered.

bee63 I doubt very much that it is 'just you' but perhaps you are very honest in this matter.
If one of our DC launches into a long winded account about something ( job related) it is difficult to stay interested, I must admit.
Most of the time though, they are not boring and I enjoy their company, our DS is particularly entertaining.

No not at all - guess I am very lucky!

mawbroon I remember being told once that in 10 years time, 90% of people would be working in jobs that hadn't been invented.
That's why the young have such fascinating careers

and when she tells me, I sometimes wish she hadn't.
I worry too much.

Gosh no!!

All of them are interesting and as for DD2 - well, I never know what she's going to get up to next

No, we love conversing with our four. Their lives are so interesting and varied . Perhaps it helps that none live near us, so when we talk, there is so much to catch up on and discuss.

Wow! You all have very interesting children.
It's just me then

Not in a million years.

We talk about all sorts of diverse things.

Good Lord no! DS is a real chatterbox and when he is with us we will talk about everything under the sun; books, cooking, music, history, fishing (he does not fish, but indulges me!), sport, you name it. The only thing that I will not discuss with him is politics - I leave that to his father. DD is quieter and sometimes it's a struggle to find things to talk about - depends on her mood - but we get by. We have been talking about work recently because the firm she works for has just closed, so she has lost her job and is looking for another. It is also a common denominator for me because I used to work for the same company and so I know everyone who worked there. But no, I am pretty proud of how intelligent, insightful and amusing are the conversations our children have with us.

Yes, they were pretty rubbish weren't they
Our family never kept pets. So I didn't know there was such a thing as a veterinary nurse. Until many years later, If only

Their friends have some amazing jobs too. I often wonder why my careers teacher only ever told us about teaching, nursing, social work or becoming a secretary

Wow !
MawBroon you must be rightly proud of your AC

No, I love girly chats with D. S dosen't talk as he has ASD more frustrating than boring.
