I am a bad mother. You want to know why? Well too bad, I am going to tell you anyway. I hate playing with my son. Now before you get your panties in a wad, let me explain myself....
I love sitting down and coloring with him. I love playing play dough with him, I love snuggling up and reading a book with him. I love cuddling up and watching movies with him. I love playing board games with him. I even don't mind tossing or kicking the ball back and forth to each other in the backyard. Mostly quiet time activities (except the ball thing).
but.....
I hate playing cars and dinosaurs and house and all that stuff. I have absolutely no imagination at all and it bores me to death to do so. I watch Edd and Carter play together and pretend to fight monsters or wrestle in the floor and I sit there and wonder why I can't get into it. I just can't. Believe me I have tried, I last about 5 minutes before I am bored to tears and start thinking of the million other things I could be doing.
So there you have it. My confession. I am a bad mom.

I am so the same way all the of things you said you liked to do I do to, but ask me to play barbies yuck! I have to play resturant often as well and they just tell me just sit and pretned mommy please... roll eyes LOL
I'm with you sweetie. Sam was Crazy for Dinos for a Long time as a little boy. It used to about drive me Nuts to play them w/ him. He'd tell me " No mommy, that dinosaur doesn't make That kinda Noise" lol.
You're not a bad mommy at all.
You are only a bad mom if you don't put corn in your child's play doh poo like he asks you to!
Ha, Jen..
I don't know about Carter but my boys are really physical. I hate it when he jumps, climbs, bounces on me. It hurts. I don't mind dinos as long as they aren't beating me up.
You are not a bad mom. Somewhere else I read something about your exact complaint - you feel bad because you do not like playing with your son. I get bored playing with my daughter too. Your son just enjoys you being there!!
Um no. You are a sane adult is all. i tell my son - I am not a five year old - I don't play like a five year old. The reason I think my Dh plays better? Men never grow up. Ta da.
Not a bad mother. Just an adult. I guess your son doesn't dig what you dig either?
