Do Parents Really Enjoy Playtime With Their Kids?

Sometimes I wonder—does anyone genuinely enjoy playing with their kids, or is it something we just do because we know it matters? There are days when building block towers or pretending to be a dinosaur feels like a chore, but then there are moments when I catch myself laughing, truly present, and grateful for the silliness. It’s not always easy to set aside my to-do list and dive into their world, but those rare, joyful connections remind me why I try. How do you feel about playtime with your children? Is it a joy, a duty, or a mix of both? Share your thoughts below! #ParentingJourney #FamilyLife #MindfulParenting #RealTalk #Playtime #Parenting
