[quote=Anonymous]This is totally context dependent, because it depends on what else he does with them or does not do. I play a lot of games with my kids, because it reduces screen time because I’m never gonna be much of a cook, so this is our family togetherness activity. Children should be able to play independently, but often aren’t, as many parents use screens to distract them. I made this mistake with my oldest. With my younger kids, I really encourage a lot of independent play and all kids help around the house. If I’m cleaning, they can help and contribute via chores or they can play independently if they’re too young to help. I’m not cleaning after they go to bed, that’s the kind of mommy martyr stuff the drives people up a wall. OP, look at what your husband is or isn’t doing with your kids and consider a conversation.
