Are you playing with your child?

My kid want me to play all day . I will play but it seems like it’s never enough then I feel like I’m letting him down when I say ok enough I have to go finish my work or whatever I’m doing that’s needs to get done.

This post sounds super judgy 😣

what does?

Yes we play everyday whenever I’m not doing chores, he’s always bringing me his toys. He’s 20 months old and I don’t even want any other children so I can still play with my kid and won’t have a baby to take care of. He also plays on his own too and loves to do that or with his dad of course. He’s passing his dad toys like 24/7 😂

It’s sad an admin would make a post that is distasteful and assume all moms don’t play with our children. Or are always on our phone?
Toddlers play all day long, it’s literally the only thing they do. So obviously we play with our toddlers. 🤦‍♀️

the post…

oh

I literally play with my child for 8-10 hours per day. My nearly 90 year old Nanna will admit that she basically never played with any of her 4 children, back then you kept them clothed, fed and clean, you didn’t really play with them, they amused themselves and played with each other. I’m not sure the purpose of this post, the p.s feels really unnecessary.

that’s ok, play when you can and it’s absolutely ok to let him know you have to work. Playing with them is very important, but it is also important that our children learn to entertain themselves. This post is not made to imply that we are responsible for our children’s entertainment 24/7. A good balance between you with them and them learning to play on their own 🥰

sorry, just want remind you to spend some time with your child. Life gets busy I know, but we need to take breaks and show attention to our child. It helps prevent negative attention too. 🥰

so awesome Rachna!! 👏🏼👏🏼❤️

hi Lisa, just a reminder to play. You don’t have to play all day, but so happy you’re playing. Often we need a reminder to put our phones down too. It’s easy to get wrapped up in them 🥰

Yes, I love playing with my 3year old & my 4 month old daughter’s

why are you assuming people aren’t? And who are you to ‘remind’?

I’m
Not assuming people aren’t, I’m
Reminding mommas that we all get busy, and take a break and play, as fun for you and your child and of the importance of play.

just so fun, right? It’s great to play, it keeps you young. 😁👏🏼👏🏼🥳❤️

I do find it hard playing with toys with him ... However we go out everyday whether a walk, playgroup, park, or shopping etc which we enjoy and I would count as play and connecting🤷🏼‍♀️
We don't have the TV until hour before bed. I read to him for probably an average of 1-2 hours a day. We meet friends and their toddlers too a couple times a week.

great times he will always remember ❤️❤️
