AITH for refusing to read an author to my kids, and essentially banning the book from bed time stories?
It’s Dav Pilkey, I cannot stand his books. Of course my kids love his books. And after reading most of the Captain underpants series and starting in on dogman, I had it. I told my kids who could not read at the time that I was done that I would not read Captain underpants or dog man anymore.
I didn’t take the books away. I just refused to read about farts and toilet humor. Meaning that if my kids wanted to read the books, they were going to have to learn to read and read them by themselves.
Reviewing books that have been banned, I’m trying to encourage my teens to read some of these books, only to realize that Dav Pilkey’s books are included in the top 35 most banned in elementary schools.
I now feel really bad for refusing to read these books.
