How much time do you spend playing with your kids per day?

My kid is 16. But we do try to play a board game, or card game or watch a movie every day. We succeed about 4 nights a week. I wish it could be more but we do our best to spend time together. I worry that time is almost up. She will soon be going off to college, wont need her mommy, its terrible!

Since I work all day long, when I arrive at home I like to take time and play with my 9 month old baby, it is fun becasue she gets entertained so easily even if we play with the same toys everyday, I am the one who gets bored of the same and when I can I go out and buy something new.

not enough I am sure. Right now we are redoing a couple of things in our house and have been really busy with that and I do feel like we have to push play time with the kids to the side. I do try to get them involved as much as I can. While we were doing trim work on the rooms, I gave them little paint brushes to paint with us. While I am cooking I will often ask if they would like to help. They are learning and spending time with us by helping. We are taking a trip soon which is much needed with all the work we are doing. We will get to play on the beach then.

hi, grkelly. I am a stay at home mother. I spend most of the time together with my boy. He is now thirteen months old. It's not boring to be with him, even though we always read the same book, talk the same thing, play the same games. Because i know this is the important stage for the baby to learn repetitively. The only thing is sometimes i will get tired because i need to cook and do the chores. So, i will ask for my hubby to accompany my boy and let me rest for a while. My boy will not play the same toy for long, maximum only takes him for few minutes. I always need to think which games to play with him. Luckily i have found many information from the parenting forum. So that i have better ideas on playing together with my boy. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Well mine is a new born kid just a 4 days old. She sleeps always and waiting for the great times to play with her and make more of sweet memories. I will not mind spending the whole day for my little angel and play with her whole heartedly.

I get four hours to play with my daughter per day, She walks and played with toys almoste two hours. then she sleep for two hours per day. I tried my best to get some new thing to catch my daughter attention, She is very happy and enjoy when we are playing.

Hi, grkelly. Well, it depends on that how much 'free' time I have. Today is my rest day. So I am at home all the day and I spend my time to play with my son. Now he is sleeping and I am resting in front of the computer . When I am working, I don't have enought time, but I am trying to give him at least one or two hours every night. We are reading books, playing with the toys, or playing football in the back yard. Sometimes it's boring, but I don't have any choice. He needs his mamma.

Recently, i returned back to work, but my only daughter is already 6 years old. Even she's a little older i still have this guilty feeling whenever i left her at home. But if iv'e got no work i see to it that all day long we are with each other so i could at least make up for the lost times we've missed.

hello grkelly i spend all day with my children. sometimes i want to have a privacy but i cant. if i get bored i will be turn the music on. like an instumentalia music. it works to me. in holidays i can ask my husband too.
