The kids will still randomly recall stories I made up and told and read to them years later, that I had completely forgotten. Bedtime reading and story time is absolutely magical and I could never delegate or outsource it.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I didn't get that reading to babies isn't about getting through the book so my husband signed me up for a "how to read to babies" class where I learned to interact with my child over a book. Life changing. How did he know? His mom spent 40 years with a kid or grandchild on her knee being"read" to.
