Confessions of a Bad Mom
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'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.

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?
