[quote=Anonymous]My DS is an only child, and he's very high maintenance in that he needs us all of the time. He seeks our approval, he must sit with us at all times except if he's watching TV. If he draws something, I need to see it, if he creates a game, I must see its development then play it with him, etc. I know to be a good parent I should engage, and I do my very best, but I've also been SO tired and mentally stretched thin that most of the time I placate for a little and then either play video games with him or watch TV because it's a way to engage with him while still not exerting energy. I neither have the patience nor the energy to do that's right and it's making me feel all kinds of guilty. The days are long but the years are short as they say, and he's only this young for now. How do you do it? How do you force yourself to play Hot Wheel war for hours? [/quote]
