Sadly, I agree with you.
Between work and kids it just has to go. I am also blessed with no sleeping problems which means that I fall asleep the moment i go to bed. I try to read at least one book per year during vacation.
I read so much when I was younger.
I am not certain I will get the habit back when I get older.
- mattlondon 3y agoSame. Can't say I miss it, either. Reading a book at this stage in my life (busy with kids) feels self-indulgent and selfish.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoAnd yet, you gotta take time for yourself, too, lest you burn out.
- therealdrag0 3y agoWhy not read with your kids?
- The_Colonel 3y agoDon't you allocate some time just for you? Labelling that as selfish seems very unhealthy.
- newaccount74 3y agoYet you are posting on HN :) I try to read some of the books my kids read, allows me to connect with them. They love talking about their books.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoFor me, reading a book requires more time and focus than posting on HN.
- amenhotep 3y agoWhat a ridiculous and sad thing to post.
- Engineering-MD 3y agoOr could it could instil good habits in your children? Obviously looking after/active okay with kids is better, but I don’t see it being selfish to also enjoy yourself and encourage a valuable hobby in them too. It’s hard being a parent, make time for things you enjoy too!
