    It happens. Just be aware that someday you could have a kid, and they could really hate intellectual stuff and love sports, and say stuff like “my parents are so boring, they only talk about science and philosophy stuff but I want to talk about…”

    Just different people being interested in different things. Only important thing is that everyone is okay with different people actually being different.

    I suspect, if you took an interest in what they do want to talk about, you’d find them much more interesting than if you expect them to care about what you’ve just mentioned.

    • They talk about:

      Work

      Random gossip about other people

      And they do:

      Doom scroll WeChat

      Watch boring Mandarin-language Dramas

      Like we went to see Project Hail Mary the other day… their English sucks so I had to explain the plot to them afterwards… and they’re just like… “cool” not really seem to understand the whole story… and like didn’t ask much questions…

      I felt kinda sad…
