It's curious that even back in his day, Albert knew that reading to your children was beneficial.
I totally agree with that, when they are little they are like little sponges wanting to learn more and more. More reading, more questions, more answers, increased knowledge.
I don't remember anyone every really reading to me as a child so it looks like I missed out on that too!
We learned very early on there wasn't anything like "fairy tales" that was going to happen in our life. I ended up reading on my own most of the time, which helped at times but wasn't quite the same.
It would have actually been nice to have parents that would have done things like reading to us, but it just never happened and I can't change those facts.
I don't remember my parents reading to me either Randy.
I feel for you too and understand your frustrations. Perhaps we shouldn't make this about us, but about them Randy. We must remember not to take things personally.

Thanks Maria. You're absolutely spot on with your thoughts. I agree.
I totally agree.
