Barefoot Explorer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Brilliant! I wish I could that these days. I have to avoid reading, because I lose myself so entirely in books that the children start to feel a little neglected. I mostly save it for the weekend, or I read short stories to minimize the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2myboys Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Haha. Oldest showed all the signs with the Percy Jackson series. I could tell he was in trouble, but I didn't know what to do. :001_unsure: He even brought his book to the dinner table! We finally had to have an intervention after he stayed up til 2 in the morning reading several nights in a row. He's recovered for the most part, at least until there is a new RR book out, then we face relapses. :scared: :D Rick Riordan does that to my boys too! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stalked the postal worker for Mark of Athena and disappeared for most of the day. :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I made the mistake of reading Rebecca this week while my dh was out of town. One night, I fed the girls tapioca pudding (dairy free and homemade :) ) with gf chicken nuggets for dinner because I was reading after work and didn't stop in time to make dinner. They couldn't decide if they liked me reading because they got junk for dinner, or they didn't because I was suddenly a "terrible mother." They were both happy when I finished the book. I typically restrict my reading to after they go to bed because reading is dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The first time my dyslexic son showed signs of not coming up for air with a book I almost cried with joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My boys can testify to how dangerous reading is. I forced them to read Don Quixote. One of them wrote in their book report that the book proved his long held theory that too much reading makes you go crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
