Nah. Some parents are intrusive assholes. Respect that your kid has decided to do something. They are allowed to be busy.

This.

If ya gotta good family, y’all should both make time for each other. But you should also respect each other’s boundaries. Sometimes ya need to be alone and focused.

I’m a writer. I love my boyfriend and my roommate, but they gotta respect my writing time for the focus I need as much as I respect their need for focus in their own activities. But we can also tell when we aren’t devoted doing something and THAT’s when it’s time to interact.
