...I would argue that it is sometimes the pain in things that make you appreciate them the most... it is my unconditional willingness to endure the middle-of-the-night feedings, the cleaning up of vomit, the screaming for no good reason, etc that makes me realize how much I love my child and love raising him...

Neglect by Reading

I am a terrible mother... when I am reading a book.

I can't help it... I (like my son, I might add) am an incredibly focused person. When I start a book, I become very focused and entrenched in the story. Any spare five seconds and I pull out my phone and start reading. This keeps me from doing all the little things that I occupy myself with when I am not otherwise engrossed in a tale.

I hope that this strikes a love for reading into my son but until then, I might have to start rationing my time with kindle. Glad I have a very involved husband...
