[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how people say they would be bored by spending time with their own children.

Think about it for longer than it takes to hit "reply" and send some scathing comment back.

They are developing and learning and growing at a rapid fire pace, they are full of wonder and joy, they are not bitter or jaded, and they are your offspring. They are little miracles, each and every one.

But post after post claims they find all that boring.

NP here.  I'm not interested in stuffed animals, train sets, and singing nursery rhymes.  Why would I be?[/quote]

But that's the point. You are not the one playing with these things, obviously. Your child is. And you should be interested in their development and growth enough to want to be part of their imagination, creativity, how they learn to play more complex roles versus parallel play, the new words they use, how they can explain ideas. 
I really all of the bored mothers who think spending tkme with their child is mind numbing would benefit from learning about child development and how to interact and teach their children. Truly, no snark intended.
If you really think that being a hands on and interactive parent means being bored and sitting watching a child play, then you are really missing out.
I think maybe some moms have never been around their children long enough to learn and grow as a mother with them, and that is a loss to both parent and child.
