To think DS should just pick one parent..

[neverputasockinatoaster]

To read his book?
DS enjoys having a chapter book read to him each night. He likes to do the dialogue whilst we read the rest.
However, he isn't consistent in his choice of adult which means I miss great chunks of the story...
AIBU to insist he picks one of us for the whole book so I get to find out what happens next?

I used to read their books when they were asleep, if I wanted to know the rest of the story.

yep nick the book to read.

Sadly DS is obsessive about his books (he has an ASD) and they go straight back on his shelves. As they are the only thing he will put away unprompted I am reluctant to mess up his system!
Also he doesn't sleep and his room is littered with Lego death traps so I can't sneak in and get them!
DD will just hand over her books if I want to know the ending but DS gives me a lecture on how they are for CHILDREN and not age appropriate for me.

You'll have to get DH to update you when he's finished

DH is under instruction to be 'busy' tonight as it is the last chapter.

Put a baby monitor in his room and listen in with a cuppa?

yabu but funny.

I like lucked idea :)

Update:I read the last chapter tonight.
What a Swizz! Monster defeated but story inconclusive. There's another one in the series...
I am regretting getting so emotionally involved in the lives of the characters. It's the Wheel Of Time all over again!

You're not reading Beast Quest books are you?

So go on what's the story? DS (8) and DH have got through two Harry Potter books together the last few days and he's not bloody getting to read the third one

I have been demoted to reading DD the Magic fucking Faraway Tree which I consider cruel and unusual punishment. But can't tell DD that because she is 5 and adores it.

Sea Quest.
When DS got into them I really didn't realise what a formulaic brand they were.
DD is currently obsessed by Princess Katie and her kittens.

I keep trying with Narnia and Harry Potter but to no avail.
There was a brief interlude of Ronald Dahl but we are back to Princess sodding Katie and her poorly behaved kittens and Max and his robot dog...
