Anyone else?

I don't play with my kids that much during the day.  They watch tv or play together.  I feel like a bad mom.  Any ideas about what you do?

I was just thinking about this.  I don't play with my kids that much.  They are almost 5 and 3, so being close in age they like to play together.  I set up toys for them to keep them busy and help them, but other than that I spend the day cleaning while they play.  I talk to them, talk about what they are playing etc., but don't actually get down on the floor and play with them too much. 

Is that bad of me?  I feel bad sometimes, but they have no trouble entertaining themselves.  If they ask, I do play with them.

We do a lot of crafts and cooking activities.  We play board games (I hate board games though!).  We read a lot of books.  A few weeks ago they were really into playing salon and I was the client.  Other than that, they run around outside and play with each other.
