Is it normal for this age to want us to consistently play?

Oh my son is exactly the same! I think is the age maybe bc before he was playing more independent I feel 🫢

My son’s the exact same. It’s mummy/daddy play with me, but constant. I’ve also got a 6 month old so feel like I’m constantly trying to juggle them both 🥲

My little girl is exactly the same, too! She doesn’t play independently at all- bloody exhausting!!

Thanks for replying I thought I was the only one. It can be tiring especially when I need to do other things like housework/dinner. Hopefully he phases out of it, if could just be this age. X

My daughter is the same, but I find if I can't help her cause I have to shower or do chores she will do her own thing and play well independently. When I can engage again she will immediately want me to play but if I sit still and don't make eye contact she'll keep playing by herself cause she doesn't notice me 😂

Your son is exactly the same age as mine and he also can’t play on his own. I even thought about it the other day.. I have to play cats, dogs, bad guys that sit in jail 😂 I usually let him play in the sink (his fav play that he can do by himself) so I can do something like dinner or I allow screen time but it then leaves me with mums guilt 😣 We end up going a lot outside so I don’t have to crawl on the floor and pretend to be a cat mummy 😂

Same with my son too

@Ula haha 😄 know the feeling we have to pretend I've been naughty and send me to the police station! Then if I say no to him he gets upset. X

@Melissa I used to work in a nursery and it’s just completely normal for this age! You can involved him in your housework: it’s something preschoolers enjoying doing. For example my daughter always help me to do the laundry. We also do gardening together and she helps me for cooking. What they can do is limited but it will get better and easier soon
