[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Just as you find it odd that i don't play, I think it is kinda odd for adults to play little kid games.

Really, you don't find any of the games kind of fun?  Sure, some of them are boring, but some of them I actually enjoy.[/quote]

I have tried to play puzzles and a board games with my oldest, but he just isn't interested yet.  I will play hide n seek with him or monster chasing him, etc....   I guess I was just trying to tell the OP that I think it is normal that an adult doesn't find playing little kid games thrilling and not to feel bad for not doing it.  There are plenty of other ways to engage with your kids.  It isn't like I refuse to play anything with mine, but they generally play by themselves and I don't feel bad about it at all and have never felt the need to insert myself into it.  It does sound like her daughter asks her constantly though, so that is different.  Also my kids are in daycare, so they have plenty of kids to play with and our evenings and weekends are usually really busy doing stuff and seeing people anyway.  My oldest asks me every weekend or day he isn't going to daycare "where are we going today".  So maybe the reason my Kidd don't ask me to play with them is also our lifestyle.[/quote]
