[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Where is daddy?" is created by OP. She is playing some fantasy in her head where kids play with adults and by this form some great bond. Time for kid to spend more time in preschool and form his own friendships, so the questions become "Can Larlo come over?". I know, probably, one adult who is capable of playing with a four year old, unless it's a board game or building/creating something, which is more of a weekend activity. Adults are boring anyway.
OP even thinks that an adult babysitter is, somehow, better. She can find several teenage girls for $20/hour, who would gladly take the job (several, so one would be available). This is how my kid's babysitting gig works, can be scheduled, can be last minute. [/quote]

Ditto.  You don't need to play with your child for 2 hours every day to be an "involved" parent.  Have dinner together, maybe dad handles 4yr old's bath, and reads to him at bedtime. [b] I don't know where this expectation comes from that parents should be spending hours a day playing with their kids.  My parents didn't and I think they were great parents.  [/b]And dad not playing with 4 yr old shouldn't mean mom has to be playing with him either, he needs to learn to occupy himself.  Do his own thing, check in with mom/dad so they can see what he built, drew, etc.

And, agree with the others than he should go to bed earlier.  You'll need to shift it for kindergarten anyway.  Start now.  My kids were in bed no later than 7:30 at that age.[/quote]

Agree - well said.[/quote]
