I may just be having a bad day today (or every Sunday) but I don't really want to be with my children (2 boys - aged 4 and 1). It's as if I don't really know how to play with them and spend "quality" time with them. People say you should enjoy your children while they are young, but I'm afraid I just don't know how. It seems that they are quite needy and all I want to do is hide away from them. If I sit in the playroom with them, that's all I do - sit. I struggle to engage with them and I very quickly get bored.
Then, of course, I feel guilty for for feeling like that and beat myself up about it!
I think I need someone to tell me that I'm not alone and that this does happen to other people...
