My mother was scared that anything I liked might be harmful, so getting her to let me enjoy my games and music in peace felt like a win. She wouldn’t feign any sort of interest, so if she asked a question you knew it was a threat.
In fact, I was almost 30 the first time either of my parents asked a genuine question about my favourite game of all time (that I spent literally thousands of hours playing). I was almost too shocked to answer.
I mean, I get that kid’s stuff is boring, but I feel like if you can’t take some kind of interest in your kids you shouldn’t have any.
Rant over. Sorry, I just wanted to say that you’re not alone!
The first time my mother was genuinely interested in a hobby of mine was when I started gardening last year. It was the first time I heard pride in her voice that wasn’t tied to education?
God, I feel that!

I’m very emotional now.
