I am a busy Mum, show me a Mum who isn't busy, I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old, work part time and do everything in the home as dh suffers chronic back pain and struggles to help with chores/garden/car cleaning/child lifting etc. My 4 year old likes constant attention, always asking me to play with him, "When will you play with me Mummy?", "Can you play with me?" etc. I spend alot of time with him and we do crafts, baking, gardening, imaginary play, board games, football, basketball, going to parks/soft play/museums etc. He gets one on one time when Sister is asleep and even when she is awake he calls the shots as it's easier to include her in his games than the other way about. I always feel guilty about having chores to do or shopping to go and no matter what always wish I had spent more time with him when it comes to me going to work and him going to his Grandparents. How much do you play with your 4 year old and is this normal?
