Are your kids into audio?

I have 3 grown children (25,23,20) and none have an interest in audio and very little interest in music. Kind of bums me out. I am pretty new to the good audio part of the hobby, but have been into music for years. I have shown them all how to operate my system in case they want to enjoy their music, but they haven't ever turned it on. I even have a small dedicated room for listening.

My wife NEVER listens to music, she is wrapped up with the TV. I have asked them what they will do with my stuff after I am gone, and their response is "sell it". Kind of a depressing thought. So I have decided I am going to have to outlive them all. ;)

What is your spouse and kids thoughts on your hobby? I hope it is better than mine.

I think it's a burgeoning process and with my boy, I started when he was <1, playing music while I took care of him during the day. He has a modest system I put together for him but he uses his XPS for the source.

Maybe music at an early age does help with math, as he's in an engineering program, although I never played classical. I don't know if that means he'll be better with linear or non-linear mathematics.

My daughter has shown very limited interest but at least she has a little system to use & I do hear it playing.
