Exactly. Whist I don't want to be like my mum (I don't have any memories of her playing with me at all). I am not their play mate, to demand I play with them all day. I have been thinking of adding games night, now the bigger kids can read, and are probably big enough to play something like kids scrabble or monopoly. I never had that when I was little, so I would like to make a little tradition of it for the kids. We have movie night on a Saturday night (with popcorn, cookies or cake and doonas and pillows all piled high to snuggle together on) , so maybe Fridays could be games.

But I think what ever a parent does, there is always something you stuff up (according to your kids!)

And please, don't apologise, I think this is great advice!
