Mums : How do you find time to read?

That's the question :) I try and find time when the kids have gone to bed. When do you read? How do you fit it in? I love books and I'm on my second read in two weeks.

In the bath. I usually go for a soak once the kids are in bed and read a couple of chapters.

I could do more.

I read while my kids are there to be honest. I always have - I think it’s crazy that people think they need to sit right with their kids all the time, watching the same telly, sitting over them as they play etc. I think it’s not a bad thing for my kids to see me reading or relaxing and enjoying myself as well. I don’t want them to think of me as just mum washing dishes, mum hoovering, mum cooking, mum doing laundry. It’s normal for them to see me also doing things I enjoy.

Audio books so I can multi-task.

I've cut out tv TBH. Most stuff on tv is rubbish in my opinion and there is only so much news I can watch!
