history: My daughter is a teenager now, so we don't get to spend much time together. Today we had a girls even out, went shopping and out to eat. My daughter is a teenager now so we don't spend as much time together as we used to. I know exactly what you mean. My sister is entering her teenage years. I feel like it's all I can do to just not be annoying to her_comma_ so I can't even imagine what it's like for a mom.
current: Yeah, luckily we had a fun girls evening out today. We went out to eat and did a bunch of shopping.
next: That's good! All it takes is a good day once in a while to keep things on track until they get older. My mom just tries to be as patient and considerate with my sister so that she still feels motivated to communicate with her.
