2.5 year old always needs my attention.

I love my son with my entire heart. Hes my whole world. But my goodness he needs my attention 24/7. He goes to daycare 5 days a week since my husband and I work, so when he's home I do devote my attention to him. However he used to be pretty good about playing independently but now he wants me to play with him all day long. I feel guilty because I get tired of playing after a while and want to do dishes or do something else but he wants me to play. He's glued to my hip. It's exhausting! I feel like such a bad Mom because I know he just misses me since he's gone during the week but I wish he'd play by himself for at least a little bit so I could get things done. We color, we sing, we dance, we play cars, read books, play outside, play hide n seek, playdoh, paint, play with kinetic sand, legos, etc. But it's never enough. Is this just a phase? 🤯

Edit: My husband will try playing with him and he always says "No! Mama play with me!" He also will only let me put him to bed at night and he clings to me and tells me mama don't go. I have to stay til he falls asleep most nights. I know I'll miss it someday but I feel so touched out.
