When you play with your toddler aged daughter, what are “games” that are boring for you to play with them and why?

For me, it’s when my daughter wants me to have a “tea party“ with all of her stuffed animals or when she makes “food“ out of Play-Doh that I have to pretend to eat. It feels like it goes on and on, then the stuffed animals have to have their turn, which is really just me pretending to help the stuffed animals eat and drink while also pretending that they can talk. like I have much more meaningful things to do than to sit here squished in a teeny tiny chair sipping air and pretending that non-edible food made out of Play-Doh tastes good. I can think of a whole list of things I would rather do then play stuffed animals and Barbies. My mind is racing with other things I need to do around the house, and I’m just sitting here while my daughter has me “try“ the plastic food from her play kitchen.

Not to mention the preschool cartoons I have to painfully sit through. How do you parents sit on the couch with your toddler and watch all of those babyish kiddy cartoons and be engaged in it? And when we are in the car, all we listen to is baby music, how do y’all parents enjoy listening to that in the car all the time?

Am I the only one?
