I think a lot of parents today leave parenting to everyone and everything but themselves. I was forced to read two books (I loved Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys as well haunted, HATED Mills & Boon, yuck) a week which grew on me. I HAD to write in my journal. I had to have have discussions with my Dad about the hunger in Ethiopia etc and my treat at the end of the day was not some TLC with my PS or whatever was there at the time but a bedtime story of the classics or traditional folklore from Daddykins. It all just became habitual.
Come to think of it, I wonder if it wouldn't be easier for me to just stick my future kid in front of Cartoon Network all day. Kudos to parents like Alexa who do find the time to make sure their kids lead enriched lives, in all aspects.
