He has more energy to play I guess. However, my goal is to be a mom who plays with her children as they get older: boardgames, outside, etc. When we were younger, my sibling and I would play board games after dinner with our dad while mom would clean. It was a bummer. Maybe my dad could have helped to speed things along. Maybe we all could have helped. That's also why, my rule after dinner will be everyone cleans, everyone plays!

He wanted to be a kid again and on weekends he always wanted to go to the toy stores. I felt I was married to a kid and not in a good way. It was lonely at times. My husband played a little too well.

They got the side of the bed cover ripped. They just looked at me with that 'uh-oh, we're dead' look on their faces, smiled then continued as if it's 'okay, it's going to get ripped anyway'. And guess what, every year when my husband gets home, there's still wrestling time as if they never get old. That's aside from the basketball time, chess time, etc ;o) Btw, Rebecca, I like your blog's new look. Happy blogging! ;o) When you mentioned ‘wrestling time’, I remembered when my husband and our son played wrestling on, of all places, our bed. They got the side of the bed cover ripped.

I have to do both roles because I'm divorced and their dad is, sadly, all about himself. What a great guy! I wish my kids had someone like that.

In a good way, though. It's a very endearing quality to have a youthful heart. I have to agree with Jennifer – it’s because men are kids. In a good way, though.

They just like to play in general. When men get together, they don't talk, lunch or shop. They usually play golf, tennis, basketball, etc. or else they will watch or talk about a game or sport.

He is very handsome. Yes, my hubby was always wrestling with the kids. Drove me crazy! We moms keep the peace it seems. Is that your hubby in the picture? He is very handsome.
