I deeply love my kid, I just can’t stand playing with him

I want to suck in my son Guy’s morning breath so that his particles live in my body where I can keep them safe. I cherish everything about him. But I’d rather do anything else than have to play with him. When I was seven months pregnant, I knew that my maternal instincts had yet to miraculously start. Guy wasn’t cute when he was born—which didn’t help my feelings about him, and my embarrassment that I didn’t immediately love him and find him perfect.
