[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I play with my 3 year old because I feel immense guilt that she doesn't and likely never will have a sibling. As a kid my parents never played with me and I never asked them to because I always had my sister. I just don't know what to do with an only child. None of my friends have kids. So for DD, it's me or no one. Not interacting with her when there's no one else (and I'm at work all day) seems neglectful. But I do not enjoy it, if I am perfectly honest. It is tedious and tiring. [/quote] I was in a similar situation although I could find ways to play with my son that didnt drive me nuts. It gets easier as they get older. They can at by themselves more (unless they are full blown extroverts who still crave lots of human interaction), there are more playdates, and their interests change and may become something you enjoy more.
