My eldest (8) is incredibly outdoorsy and has a massive zest for life. This is great for her, but means she’s always seeking the next big thing to do.
I could take her out all morning on bike rides, for food, see family etc, park, meet friends but as soon as we get home she will ask what we’re doing next.
It makes me so angry. It feels like nothing is ever enough for her.
I’m much more indoorsy and don’t have much zest for life, but obviously you push yourself for your kids. I find it beyond frustrating that I push myself so hard to make her happy and yet nothing is enough.
Some days we only do one thing as her Sister is also indoorsy and she has a face like a wet weekend the whole day. She just can’t cope with entertaining herself or just ‘being’.
Is there anything I should be doing here to make things different, or is it just tough shit? I can’t constantly entertain and take her out.
