Do folks here have school age kids? Curious about parenting struggles and how issues have been resolved.

Have kids age 13,15, they are fun, and independent, but sometimes it's difficult to be in the parent role. General issues of motivation to do anything off-screen, or indeed anything suggested by parents, even to come outdoors in summer. We still have ideas, skills to share, but conversations became so short, little chance for in depth discussion, or constructive projects. Traveling together can still be good.
