To find looking after kids 3 yrs and under is so boring?

[MiaMarshmallows]

I have raised my own and have grandkids, maybe it's different when they are your own? Today though I looked after my friends grandchild who is 2. It was mind numbingly boring. I narrated everything I did but of course the child could not really respond back to me, they had numerous tantrums, didn't sit and play with anything for long and it was just really hard going. We went for a walk with the pushchair but that lasted all of an hour and we didnt have the car so couldn't go that far.
Aibu to think this way and if I am, how do you find it interesting?

If you have raised your children and grandchildren then surely you know?

Our grandson is 13 months, we have a great time 🤷‍♀️

I find looking after kids of any age boring 😕

I don’t like other people’s kids. It’s definitely different if they’re your own. I really have to push myself to compliment friends kids, even though they look and act like a potato.

I find small children very very boring. Unbelievably cute, but so so dull.

When they can talk, hold a conversation and laugh at your jokes and make their own, I like it so much more.

If you don't like interacting with young children, then you will find it boring.

I disagree, i love the time with my nephews and don't find it boring at all, my own kids I loved it but yes it hard as its every day, different when not your own .

Young children have a short attention span so they are hard work. I look after my DGDs one day a week and the youngest is 3 but she can talk and is funny so definitely not boring but can throw the most almighty tantrums. When she was younger we used to break the day up into a trip out to the park or soft play/cafe, colouring/crafts/playdough/singing songs/ imaginative play with /hide and seek/playing in the garden and puzzles/easy games like snap etc. If you are not geared up for kids by way of toys etc though I should imagine it was difficult. I could not do it every day though so to a certain extent I agree that looking after very young children day in and day out is boring. I found that even with my own children. Other people love it though so each to their own.
