If you spend the whole day with your toddler, how many times a day does your child want you to do imaginative play with them? Playing house, doctors, shop, etc?

My son wants to do it all day everyday and I’m tired 😪 Even when we’re out at the park or a play centre, he still tries to initiate imaginative play. Yesterday I took him to a play centre with climbing equipment, crafts, a Lego club and all we did is sit in the one of those buggy storage spaces pretending we were fish in our undersea fish house.

Just wondering what’s normal for a toddler?

I see other children playing and engaging in other activities, which my son will do, but he always brings it back to some kind of imaginary play. Even dinner is like this. He always brings his figures to the table to feed while he eats himself. If I say no we’re not doing it, he looks heartbroken and gets upset and begs me. He’s obsessed.

Grandparents babysitting

When you have your parents or your child's other grandparents babysit them, do you share the routine and schedule or do you just allow them to do whatever or do you do like a half and half?

Random vent

Do anyone else feel like your an aggressive parent? And you have to be because the other parent is more soft than you? I don’t know I currently have a 4 year old , a 9 year old , 9 month old and currently pregnant with another boy! And my boys are ROUGH I love my babies but their “ BOYS “ constantly fighting constantly crying constantly breaking things constantly talking back and the list goes on I feel like I can’t be the soft loving parent at times or instead of yelling I can’t sit and just have a talk becasue it doesn’t work AT ALL my house is never quiet and dad is the complete opposite of me he HARDLY gets onto them for their wrong doings and his baby them which is fine at times but there are times where discipline is needed etc etc and I have to be that parent and it sucks.

Weaning

Currently doing purées, how many spoonfuls are we giving? I don’t know if I’m over feeding as LO is now dropping feeds of milk and I understand that this still needs to be their main source of nutrients.

What do you do when your child wants to play family or dolls with you but you don't like those games?

Just do a lot of things I don't want to because it's best for my child but this doesn't seem necessary and I honestly hate every second of it
