Are you ever bored being a parent?

Question

I love them but they can be boring. Makes me long for the single life

Answer 1

I don't think I will be. Children keep you doing things, I don't see how you can find the time to be bored. Appreciate them and watch them grow - before you know it they'll be a right handful.

Answer 2

Wow...How in the world could being a parent be boring?

Kids keep you on your toes.

I understand though how you may feel as though you can not relate...

Just look at your beautiful children and be proud. Entertain yourself when they are gone to bed and stop being so self centered.

Answer 3

Nope.  When I went out for the first time after having my baby...it was the same scene and a lot of the same people.  Nothing in their lives had changed...sucks to be them.  I don't long for my single life, I had a good time and now I'm having a great time as a mother.  Same person different priorities.

Answer 4

OMG! how lucky r u that they are still babys just wait you wont be bored long! and you are here by damned you ll never have  that single life again hahahahahahahahah

Answer 5

Why would it make you want the single life????

They grow up, wait til they are toddlers getting into everything. You wont be bored then.

Answer 6

It can be boring at times...I used to long for the "single life" when I had my first, when she was a baby. But now I love being a mommy :) Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  

Answer 7

the only time i get bored is when my girl goes to bed and i have no one to play with so i waste time on yahoo answers

Answer 8

depends on how old you are when you have the babies. If you waited until you were 30+ and you had your share of fun it's not half as bad as having them too young--then feeling slighted.

At first it can seem depressing because of hormonal fluctuations and so much change--but it changes alot as they grow. As infants, they sleep alot---as babies they start to get a personality and then at toddler time your so busy running after them you miss the time when you were bored.

Take heart though--people wouldn't be doing it over and over again if it wasn't very rewarding---nothing beats it in the end :)

Answer 9

Not bored of being a parent, just bored of being a stay at home mom, and when i say stay at home, i mean LITTERALLY. LOL.

I do want to go back to work, but being pregnant again stopped that, but i would love to get out of the house more than once a week (with daughter of course). We moved out into the country a month ago, and only have one car, hubby works 5-6 days a weeks, so i'm always home. It sucks. And i know my daughter is bored too. I would take her outside for the first week, but in the second week we had a, what i think, was  a wiild dog, on my back deck, scared the h**l out of me. (we have a vineyard behind us and there are coyotes, etc) so i am pretty much freaked out and haven't taken her out since.

So, bored being a parent, no can't say that, but bored being at SAHM, yes, most definitlly. :)  

Answer 10

you know, you shouldn't listen to a d**n thing that ignorant **** Free 2 B Me has to say to you. i think she believes these answers and questions are games to her, as she likes to put whatever she wants on here. i think she should find something useful to do with her sad life.

Answer 11

wow your very lucky to feel that way.

I have one two year old who I can't be bored with.

help me!

Answer 12

If I was a SAHM, I would want to shoot myself.  Getting out of the house during the day and keeping one "date night" per week with my husband maintains my sanity and happiness though.
