to hide my child's books?

[Chrestomanci]

The ones I've had to read on a loop all day long.

I know it's part of motherhood but there are only so many times you can read a book which is mainly one word

you just wait for the rainbow fairies, hundreds of books with the same bloody story and crap vocab. They burn my eyes they do.

Rainbow fairies are only for DDs who can read themselves.

We're going on a bear hunt
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

Uh oh, grass.....
Etc

I've got jeffing tonsillitis. It hurts to talk. Go away child!

I haven't even started with DD, but even from helping out with my nephew...

Once there were two bears, Big Bear and Little Bear. Big Bear was the big bear and Little Bear was the little bear...

YANBU.

A really bad idea is to buy a book that teaches colours. One word and about twelve pictures on each page. It doesn't get much more boring than that!

I used to adore Ned the Lonely Donkey - a never ending and tedious tale of the donkey who ran away to find a friend. It was one of the ladybird books, dense text, pages long.
My mother hated it and tried many times to hide it, but I always found it again.
I only found this out when I picked it up again at a charity shop and told her over the phone - "Well this time, you can bloody read it yourself!!!"
I was shocked! I even offered to read it to her, but she wasn't keen

YADNBU! I have one DD and she's just started bringing the same book to me constantly (she's 18 months) and I thought I was horrible for wanting to throw it out of the window! It's a soft one with a teddy and lots of actions...you have to put him in the bath and there's an egg and a kissing mummy bear...it's very lovely...the first few times anyway!

Looks like I've got many more years of this to come >_

small was feeling grim and dark... That was 'Ds's.

Baby Goo is all about Zoe and Beans but doesn't actually wait for me to say any words before turning the pages to get to 'Splooof'.
