[quote=Anonymous]It's different for every family....you just have to do what works for you guys and don't let anybody guilt trip you into changing your routine. I can't even tell you how much parenting "advice" we got from well-meaning friends/family who thought we were clueless...the bedtime we set was too early/late, mealtimes were too early/late, schedule was too rigid/loose, kids were too hyper/shy, they didn't need to be in daycare all week, they shouldn't get to refuse certain foods....it was never ending. But we started tuning everyone out and doing whatever worked best for us...and what worked best sometimes changed from week to week...and that was ok. We really had to adapt an attitude of flexibility to help us get through those early years, but we did just that and a decade later, we're all still standing...lol. Regarding the books, can you have one of the kids choose a book each night? When our kids were that age, they didn't really care what we read, they just enjoyed being read to. Good luck with everything![/quote]
