Aside from being here and there, I am also entertained playing with our baby twins at home. They are my nieces. Plus, their older sister. It is how we make our lives enjoy being with the family. Having babies in the house brings joy.
What activities do you find boring?
Why do parents need to keep their children entertained?

Why do parents have to keep there children entertained that is so easy because if they don’t there kids will destroy everything I mean everything. When bored they will find something to entertain themselves and it will be messy. Like poop on the wall or baby powered on the floor. Busy hands means things are not being broken or destroyed.
Myself I rather be bored and take a nap. I enjoy my kids being gone for 6 hours for 5 days a week it means they leave me alone and bug there teachers and friends.

I can imagine how they broke things if not being attended to. The older sister of these twins was not that nagger during her childhood years. Recently, my nephew broke their TV 2 months ago. My younger sister was so devastated about it. I always believe that most moms are superwomen, which I had seen how my mother takes good care of us and deals with children's naughtiness before.

@Shavkat even when attended to things get broken, can’t keep an one them 24/7 who else do kids learn they learn by mistake, by breaking things and trying to out it back together. Rules are meant for breaking so lesson can be learned.
I got things broken, mess on the floor or as I say bombs for there humans that are clearly living. At home they are like this which is normal means they feel safe when not at home they are little angles everything cleaner and organized. Most of the neighbors compliment on the kids and how sweet they are.

We didn't used to have to entertain them. Before the pandemic they could go out and play with friends

@Shavkat probably because of pandemic. Kids need to learn these days to entertain them selves. They are bored too easily because of technology spoiling them

@bunnybon7 The good thing is that my niece learns so many things when having classes with me prior to her classes online with her real teachers.

Quite simply, parents need to keep their children entertained because it's a way to "keep tabs on them" and/or to keep them docile.
Boring activities generally involve 'doing nothing as you wait to do something'---I think of 'waiting for a ride' and then 'sitting in the car, waiting to get where we're going (obviously I'm not the driver ).
Other boring activities are the ones you usually like to do while you're watching TV or listening to music---like 'cleaning your room' or 'folding laundry'.

As you had described children, it proves that their attention span is so short as compared to adults. The worst boring that I need to endure is waiting for someone who is so late with the appointment time. Or, a chatterbox that is full of himself or herself and does not end the story.

I miss having babies in the house. All of them have grown up. You are lucky to have twins
