Why is everyone yelling at the OP?
On one side, yes, he is the parent. He needs to make sure the kid is the focus and is entertained. He can't simply neglect the child.
With that said, he clearly is spending time with the child. The kid should be the focus but can't be spoiled. That will hurt them in the long run. Everybody, no matter what age, needs to have personal time or something is bound to go wrong.
My advice, simply tell the child "Not today" or "maybe later". The child needs to learn to entertain himself to an extent too. Telling a child "no" isn't at all bad.
