How often husbands coming home from work are perplexed: why is such a mess at home and why are you so tired?
And how quickly such questions stop, it is worth leaving them with the baby at least for a day alone ...
Games with children really take a lot of energy, because kids have tens of times more energy than adults. Therefore, it is important to distribute the forces very competently so that they are enough for the whole day.
Of course I want to run and jump and build pyramids with a crumb, but sometimes there’s simply no strength for it, and all that is needed is to lie an hour on the couch.
Women in this matter are more resilient, or maybe just less creative, so they agree to rush with the child all day, and by night they don’t even remember what their name is.
Another thing dad!
I used to think that all these pictures are on the Internet and videos on which dads: they either wind up a bottle of tape with scotch or the dog will learn to shake the cradle from a series of performances until it leaves its play house for half a day.
Of course, my husband was already tired on the turret of cubes, and only 15 minutes passed before I left. Hearing on the phone that I still couldn’t return right now, I was a little upset, but said: “Okay, we'll figure it out.”
And he figured it out!
I come home daughter (2.5 years) happy and cheerful, he is lying on the couch believes.
- I ask: “What are you doing?”.
“Play hide and seek!” He says.
I became curious, so I sat down and watched. The essence of the game was that dad is lying on the couch and counts to 10, and the baby is hiding within the room. Moreover, he pushed the chair in advance, made a place in the closet and at the table, where you can fit neatly.
As the bill ends, dad guesses where the child hid. Loudly calls any places that come to mind: "are you in the refrigerator?", "Maybe you went to grandma?" The answer, of course, is "No." And so, just 5, and then he guesses, and the daughter screeches out of hiding and rejoices how he guessed so.
In fact, such lazy hide and seek suitable in the case when you have not yet taught the child to play ordinary, and the age is approximately the same as ours.
I do not think that children of 4 years old will buy such entertainment. Although, looking at my baby I understand that they like any noisy games just to not sit still. And if you also communicate a lot, a happy smile is provided to everyone.
Therefore, try, and suddenly, with the help of such hide and seek, you will be able to carve out at least half an hour to rest.
Tell me what games your spouse plays with children, because I sincerely believe that dads can come up with much more interesting entertainments than mothers, whose heads are full of other questions: “what to feed”, “what kind of red spot” ...
