Also, she is 6, not 2. She does not need me to entertain her all day. Kids that are entertained all day long have no need to develop their imagination or creative thinking skills. Kids SHOULD complain of boredom at times. It is what encourages them to think of new things to do. |
You're right. I'm not a member of your family...so I don't know.
It just sounds like you are gone all day working, and even when you're at home, she's still playing by herself. :-P
This always makes me think of parents who just buy their kids 6 billion toys out of some kind of guilt or something. Like...they aren't playing an active enough role in their kid's childhood...so they just buy them toys and things to pacify them. Like...it's much easier to take a kid to Toy's R Us and let them pick out a toy than it is to play with them at the park.
Anyway...that's a tangent for another time.
