[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. This time together is fleeting. Your kids (gasp) love to spend time with you. Whatever slogan you need, it's not like someone's asking you to withstand torture. Perspective, patience, and love will help. :)[/quote] This. I have good memories of my parents playing with me and yes I had siblings but there was something special about when mom and dad joined in. And patiently tolerating and indulging are silly games. Sure it's not the most exciting thing you will do but it means so much to them[/quote]
