#8: I don't love playing with my kids

In this episode, we talk parental guilt, curated childhoods, boredom, independent play and why connection doesn’t always mean getting down on the floor and joining in.

I also share how being autistic affects the way I play and the unexpected compromise Alysia and I found.

Because children need our attention and interest, but perhaps we were never supposed to be the main character in every game they play.
