In Indian culture, which is very child-centric, grown ups, especially women, do not play much. But play is good not only for kids.
Outdoor sport, such as badminton, basketball etc, can help make you happier and healthier. These are social games, played with other people, and help build bonds.
After marriage, life can get difficult and draining especially for women. Managing cooking, kids, in-laws, guests has led some of my married friend to become very resigned and passive.
It is essential to find even five or ten minutes to play outdoors in a day, even if it is a simple game of tag with the lady next door.
Just ensure you are away from all your responsibilities for that short while. Hand your baby to your dad-in-law for ten minutes, smile and play. It is normal and healthy to have a child in you as long as you can keep it happy. Play is something children get happy about, and that includes the child in you.
