Playing with the kids is boring
Feel free to attack me, but please hold off until you’ve read the entire post.
Playing with the kids is SO. FREAKING. BORING. We all go to the playground at least twice a week, often more. There is a finite number of times I can feign interest in watching Grace do the exact same thing. “Look, daddy!” as she slides down the same red slide for the 118th consecutive time. “Yeah, honey! Wow, that’s great!” Translation: Is it 12:30 yet so we can go home, have lunch at take a nap? Because I’m bored out of my mind.
Grace wanted to have “a parade” at home the other day. So fine, I strap on the marching snare, she takes the recorder* and William is given two cymbals.** We march around the red couch for several minutes while Grace makes up a song. It’s cute and all, but after five minutes I was done. The kids would have done it for a week straight.
Back to the playground. There’s a huge sandbox at our playground, which William loves. He fills and then dumps sand, and…ok, that’s pretty much all he does. Grace loves to run around the perimeter of the sandbox and leap into my arms when she gets to where I’m sitting. Sound cute? Do it fifty times.
Honest, I love my kids, and think of them while I’m at work. But playing with them is killing me. Slowly.
*This is the single most annoying, ear-splitting instrument ever created.
**I stand corrected.

In Grace’s defense, watching her play isn’t exactly playing with her.
But I think any honest parent will admit that sometimes it takes a little effort to want to play with your kids.
I think it’s because I’m lazy. My son’s playing is mostly to do with pretending, and he has a very active imagination. My mind hasn’t bent that way in such a long time…which, I suppose, is a little depressing.

I wrote a post on this topic awhile ago. http://www.parentingourchildren.com/life-as-a-mom/
I think it is one of those things, people don’t want to say out loud, but we all know it is true.

Well, I’m glad someone had the nerve to say it. It is boring sometimes and repetitive, but it’s good for them.

This is my first read on this site and I am hooked! You rock!
Harsh fact! I love my son and he really longs to be with me when I get back from office. Atleast he does not slide down dozen times
He is great chap I tell you.
Good on you. This was really a good read.

Hrmmm. Not sure what to say here except, well, never mind. As you’re probably aware, play is the work of children, and it is serious work indeed!
That being said, I guess I just never grew up, because I love playing with my 2 and 4 year olds.
Playing trucks. Kicking/hitting the ball. Watching Monster Jam. Riding the quads.
It’s (almost) all fun for me. Even if I get taken advantage of, like what happened here..
