It’s a chain that can be hard to break.

I think I could probably count the bedtime stories Steve & I have read to our kids over the last 9 years on the fingers of our hands put together – I just hate reading out loud, and especially at their bedtime! (well maybe it’s a few more than 20, tbh I haven’t exactly been counting – and they used to have more when they were younger than they do now!)

But they get stories at other times, and snuggles, and we’d rather play a board game with them at bedtime! I’m assuming it was the lack of intimacy/relationship between father and children that bothered you rather than the lack of bedtime stories … if not then we’re in trouble too ;)
