Confessions - playing with my kids is boring

Today Anna tackles a new anonymous Confession from the Therapy Room;"I find the park, unless I'm with friends, boring, and I wonder how much longer we need to stay! I also feel similar when playing with my young children, 3 and 5, at home and feel like the worst mum for thinking this. I want to love playing with them but the reality is I get bored quick and just think of all the jobs I could be doing instead."Anna replies with some compassionate advice and tips that will help everyone, regardless of whether they can relate to this confession or not.Please note - the names and voices of some of the Ask Anna/Confessions contributors may have been changed at their request.
