To think I’ve got parenting wrong

[Gdaygnight]

I feel like I’ve got the balance completely wrong and now I won’t get the time back that I’ve missed.
My children are 4 and 2. I’m self employed and my work involves some evening work. I can pick and choose how much to take on but financial reasons have meant I’ve worked a bit more in the evenings than I have in the past.
This has meant that my husband has been doing most of the bedtimes in recent months. I’d say on average I do 3 per week and he does 4 maybe 5.
Tonight my youngest asked for his dad rather than me to read him his story and it’s just broken me. I feel so so sad and guilty that he didn’t want me. He’s obviously used to his dad doing bedtime more and wanted that familiarity over me.
Have I let me kids down? I’m worried I’ll look back on these times when they’re grown up and regret missing out on bedtimes. I also have been doing loads of DIY and gardening recently so feel like I’ve been distracted and not giving enough attention 😔

AIBU - don’t feel guilty or sad, the kids are fine and happy
YANBU - do feel guilty and do something to change the current set up. Your kids aren’t getting enough of you

Of course you haven't op - stop beating yourself up - kids are very fickle and if dad was reading he probably would habe asked for you!

Kids Whims change like the wind
my kids love dad putting them to bed as he does the voices when reading books - if I am here my voices are just not as good!!!!

I doubt any dad would feel guilty over this. There's nothing wrong with the bed times being split how they are. A young child having a preference for a particular parent doing a certain activity does not mean that the other parent is failing or not wanted. Try and let go of that guilt.
