More mothers have weighed in on the debate over whether being bored playing with your children makes you a bad parent. Catherine Cooper and Denise Sumpter appeared on today's This Morning to reveal their conflicting views. Mother-of-two Catherine, a freelance journalist based in South West France and London, said it's natural for adults to find the repetitive nature of children's games a complete bore.
