Best parenting advice: Love what your kids love, and your kids will love you.
I once saw a guy in a suit, having lunch with his teenage skater-kid son in Chipotle. The line wound past them, so I could hear the kid telling his dad all about the latest episode of Dragonball Z in excruciating detail, as the Dad nodded absently, and looked like he wanted to die.
I went home and told my son my "Love What Your Kids Love" philosophy, and said that when he was young, if he had wanted to talk to me in excruciating detail about some dumb anime thing, I would have...had to cut him loose. Sorry, I just couldn't do it.
He thought that was hilarious. He hates anime.
Well don't leave us hanging, what was it Cell Saga? Boo?
Ideally you can get in the right frame of mind to like hearing about the thing the person is talking about because you like the person and how enthusiastic they are about it. But there are limits.
