In my experience, at N's age, 20-30 min of reading a night is more than enough. You're right...the attention span just doesn't go much beyond that at his age.

We used to read to R every night as well. We'd choose larger books (we read her all the early Harry Potter books) and do at least a chapter a night. These days she reads and reads and reads...

Your Aunt was right. Housework can wait, your kids can't. I think it's great that you spend so much time with them and that you're such an active mom. And I think having hobbies helps balance people. I've met people who's hobbies were their kids, and when those kids leave for college, they are a little lost.

I try not to compare my house to anyone elses. I also try to remember that my friends come to see me, and not my house. I ignore the state of one of my friends houses because it's more important to me that I spend quality time with her rather than worrying about what her house looks like. She has 2 children under age 2 and not much time on her hands to worry about cleaning!

You are a fabulous person and I think you rock as a mom! Go you!!!
