[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adults don’t have to play with kids and it’s actually modeling healthy boundaries to say something like “I’m fine here, I’m going to rest and watch you play!” That said it’s important to be kind and present. Maybe emphasize the latter over the former.[/quote]

Of course they don't HAVE to...but unless they truly have no time that's not spent supporting the family, why the heck wouldn't they sometimes?  Carpe diem. YOLO. [b]This time together is fleeting. Your kids (gasp) love to spend time with you.[/b] Whatever slogan you need, it's not like someone's asking you to withstand torture. Perspective, patience, and love will help.  :)[/quote]

What makes you think that just because dad doesn't play with them that he's not spending time with them? There are plenty other things to do with your kids in all this "fleeting" time besides play. He could teaching them to cook, change tires, plant flowers, cut grass, wash the car, watching sports, teaching them to drive, reading with them, helping with homework, surfing, swimming... Just because he doesn't one thing they ask him to do doesn't mean he's not supporting the family. Get outta here. [/quote]
