[quote=Anonymous]I work full time and just can’t seem to make time to play with my kid. She’s constantly saying “look at me!” and “play with me” while I’m cooking dinner, folding laundry, etc. Also, her version of playing is often just me watching her do something—e.g. she wants me to watch her make an obstacle course. I find myself constantly trying to sneak away when she doesn’t notice so I can neaten up another part of the room while she plays. I just never feel present and playful during the week—there’s too much to do. Saying, “I can play for a half hour and then I need to make dinner” always results in whining and arguing when the alarm goes off signaling that time is up. Anyone else feel this way? Any solutions?[/quote]
