Siblings with an age gap
My BF has 2 daughters, ages 8 and 16. Sometimes he finds it hard to find things to do with them on his visitation weekends that appeal to both of them without one or the other being bored. (And the older they get, the more he feels "out of the loop" with their interests since they're girls.)
Any ideas I can tell him about from moms in similar situations?

Re: Siblings with an age gap
LOL That's funny, because he says something similar. I haven't met her yet, just the little one, because, "She's a teenager. She's just going to roll her eyes at you and ignore you as much as possible. She hates everybody and everything."
They take her big dog to the park a lot, go boating in the summer, go skating and biking, watch movies (but one or the other is always bored with whatever they pick because it's not age appropriate), play board games. They'll go to the zoo or water park, etc., but he spends a mint and wishes he could find something they both enjoy that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Wii? There's the up front cost but then it's free every time they visit. There are so many games I'm sure there are at least a few everyone would enjoy.
It's all about X Box now and I think it's more of a boy thing.
There isn't that much you can do to please a 16 year old girl other than buy her things. If you really want to plan an activity together everyone can volunteer at a homless shelter or an animal rescue. Both of the the girls will hate you equally at that point.
