Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

[ Reply | More ]ita with all previous posters. I have young dcs so am still in the thick of protracted toddler bedtime routines (killing me!), but I have a friend who has a 10 yr old who won't let her hug or be cuddly with her at all any more, and it's killing my friend, even though she knows it's normal preteen behavior. Enjoy it while it lasts. And why would you risk making your dd feel rejected? Stop that.
