do you find that as a SAHM you have to choose between feeling bored or guilty most of the time?

I feel bored when I do more than say 10 mins playing at a time with the children, but guilty in every minute that I don't give them attention.

"The things he wants to do are so tedious I could pass out" - I SO know that feeling

I have to say, I'm feeling less guilty about saying "I don't enjoy that, but I'd love to do x,y,z" (giving a couple of options for things that I might actually stay semi-comatose for - my favourite activities are playing board games or reading).
