[quote=Anonymous]I don't find it sad. I find it realistic. I was a great babysitter growing up because I played nonstop with my charges. And then I got to go home and do my own thing. When you're Mom, that's not an option. There's no downtime. So you work out a balance as best you can. I do play with my kids quite a bit, IMO, but as they grow older and more independent in their play (and more cooperative with each other), I'm happy to finally get the dishes or laundry done during the day instead of after bedtime. Even better if I get to sit on the couch and browse through a catalog. It's absolutely exhausting and more than a little soul-sucking to have to entertain young kids constantly.[/quote]
