    Gen X. My parent and grand parents didn’t do shit. It’s not generational. They weren’t bad , just not great. That’s pretty universal.

    They didn’t read to me, and I’m an avid reader.

    I read to my kids, but they all lost interest in it pretty quickly. Only one of them does it as an adult.

    It’s all situational my dude.

      Same experience here as a GenXer - I don’t recall my parents ever reading to me - they might have when I was really young, but they were also raising my brothers (6 and 7 years older than me), so I doubt they had much time.

      I was the avid reader in the family. When I got married, I stopped reading as much, but I still do some reading when I find a book that interests me. I have three or four sitting on my desk at the moment that I haven’t started.
