I HATE reading books to my kids.
I LOVE reading books to my kids.
I HATE reading the same books over and over and over to my kids.
I LOVE that my kids want me to read books to them.
I HATE doing the "voices" while reading books to them.
I LOVE that Peter does the "voices" while reading books to them.
I HATE that I'm lacking on sleep so much that I fall asleep whenever I read books to the kids.
I LOVE that books can take us anywhere in the world we want to be.
I HATE that I always end up with elbows, knees, heads, arms, legs, etc. poking and prodding me the entire time we read books...All because they are arguing about who gets to sit where.
I LOVE that Piglet likes to get non-fiction books from the library...he knows so much!
I HATE that they want to read a lot of books when we are already late for bedtime.
I LOVE that Tigger (he's two) chooses to sleep with books instead of toys.
I HATE that I don't have enough time to read what I want to read.
I LOVE children's books...Especially the ones with fantastic illustrations.
I HATE picking up ALL the books that the kids have pulled off their bookshelf.
I LOVE when it's time to go to the library and check out new books.
I HATE it when people fold down corners of pages to mark their places.
I LOVE it when you find a new author that you like.
I HATE it when an otherwise good book ends up with a really lame ending. I just finished one of those...Talk, Talk by T.C. Boyle.
I LOVE the smell of a brand new book.
I HATE it when people spill food in a book.
I LOVE books!!
And as a little note, I got my first award from mom2my6kids and I'm so excited!! Keep a look out for the pass along!

I'm the opposite. I LOVE reading books to the children. Except, I don't usually get to do that part, because there's too many other 'mom' things to do in the evenings - trying to keep up with caring for twins. Hubby usually gets to do the reading. :(
I love, LOVE books!! Can't get enough of em, and it breaks my heart to see them disrespected. We're always trying to teach our 4-year-old how to respect books and treat them well. (sounds like a relationship, eh!?! ha, ha!)
I actually don't mind doing the voices... :D (It's the one time I can throw all my pretenses aside and be silly!)
I do hate picking them all up off the floor after the twins have ransacked the bookcase, though.
I really liked this post. :)
I totally relate to the madness.
I like to read to my kids...most of the time. Sometimes I'm at the end of my rope though... it's all I can do to kiss them goodnight without bonking them on the head first!! I need to be better about reading to them on a consistant basis...
Oooh! I have a huge love/hate relationship with books. I love to buy them, I hate to read them, I love to want to read them, I hate that I never get to read them. I love owning books, I hate having so many books. It makes no sense. I think I'll feel better if I buy another book! No I'll just feel guilt!
