What are some fun and low-cost/no-cost things to do with my 16 yr old daughter. I feel she needs more one on one time with me but I cant afford to take her on a shopping spree!

I have a 14 year old daughter that could care less about me or my feelings? She will not go to the movies with me or even let me sit beside of her on the couch anymore? Until this past year me and her used to stay up late together and watch tv and laugh. But now her phone is all she wants??

how about roller skating, visit barnes and noble and buy a book and have starbucks coffee( the kids around here love that!) go out for lunch. make cupcakes together and decorate however she wants. go to a thrift store. do each others nails. make homemade cards for soldiers. learn to braid her hair. get old t shirts and tie dye. hope this helps! at this time of year (spring yea!) you can start vegie seeds inside, then garden together. Ive seen a bean teepee that was soo cool!! for class projects use plastic drink cups and potting soil and plant marigolds. they should be ready for mothers day. there are many places to buy inexpensive beads and stretch cord to make fun jewelry together. boys can do some of these things too. my son loves to bake cookies. I took him bowling and fishing(under 16 is free to fish in PA) and he loved the library!

I'm 18 and my favorite times are when me and my mummy make artistic shots, drink hard cider, and then take a hit off the bong. Try it with your daughters it will be a great bonding experience :)

I don't know if this will be helpful but I'm 13 years old, and me and my mum aren't like super close. But I think the things that I would like are to do things to be closer. Like I would NEVER let my mom like braid my hair or like wax my legs. I think that girls just need to know they are loved, but not in weird ways like I love you so much or you're just sooooo beautiful. For me if my mom says that stuff I feel like she's forced to say that, so the little things end up being the big things. Like watching stupid old movies together just to laugh about it, or baking just cause you want to. If anything those are the moments I love the best with my mom cause you're not stressed out you're just comfortable and hanging out.

I love a lot of these ideas... But, one thing I've been doing with my teenage daughter is the grocery shopping. At first she was bored and didn't want to be involved, but then I started giving her certain tasks like we need 4 avocados. She didn't know how to choose an avocado, so she had to ask, and I have taught her how to plan meals for the family (or just herself), how to write a grocery list, how to choose a budget, how to pick fruits and veggies, and how to cook for the family (or just herself). This is important stuff that she will need to know, but we also have a fun time doing it together, whether it's searching for recipes or just trying to get it done as quickly as possible. We especially like the Farmer's Market where there are always samples, great prices, and a bustle of activity. These days, she's responsible start to finish for one meal a week for the family. It's an awesome break for me and a great learning experience for her! :D
