Parents Don't Like Playing With Their Kids

Maybe your kids are bored with you

There’s one thought of parenthood that always spooks me. When I’m tired and want to lay on the couch and watch TV or read a book, I apparently have to play a game with my children that intellectually or physically I am far superior than them at. This seems awfully annoying. While I can only theorize, these parents tell it like it is.

30% of mothers and fathers think playing with their offspring is boring, the survey commissioned by Disneyland Paris found.

Of course it’s boring, you idiots! You are playing a game fit for humans aged 2-4. It’s like Agent Smith fighting someone who hasn’t freed his mind yet. But these are your kids that you decided to have. You had to know that they would be 3 before they would be 18.

This sense of ennui is actually picked up by 16% of youngsters, while 55% of children want more quality fun time with their parents.

In the immortal words of Chris Rock, go take care of your kids so they don’t rob me in 10 years.
