What are you talking about? If I didn’t have kids I wouldn’t be reading at nearly the pace I read at. Just yesterday I read:
Rainbow Magic: Emily the Emerald Fairy
Rainbow Magic: A fairy ballet (Scholastic Reader level 2)
Peppa Pig: Dentist Trip
Some Sandra Boynton book (I think belly button book but they kind of blur together)
Half of Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants
and Chapter 3 of “When did you see her last?” from Lemony Snicket’s All the wrong questions series
And it’s a good thing I do all that reading so I can invent two original stories every night at bed time
