I’m 14 yrs old and my mom has been reading the harry potter books for me for the last 6-7 years. She has read them before I go to bed. We are almost done with the fifth book and after that I will read the rest by myself.
Most people would say that I was too old for this a long time ago. But it doesn’t really matter.

This is so sweet and if you both enjoy it why stop now
I love this. Don’t be embarrassed by it. Hang on to that little piece of childhood.
Don’t be embarrassed by this. I’m a parent, and my son is a lot older than you now. I read to him all through his childhood. When he was young, reading the whole book to him as he followed along. Later, taking turns – him reading one page, me reading one. I don’t remember when it stopped, but it did. And whenever it stopped, it was too soon. I miss those days. Reading together is HIGH QUALITY time between a parent and child. Enjoy it while you can, both of you.
This is actually really nice.
This is so sweet.
Instead of breaking the tradition, why don’t you guys get the audiobooks? They’re available on Audible and then you can make it more of a pre-bedtime routine?
My 12 year old just told me I’m cringe for asking to read to him 😭
This is such a nice memory for you both my mom read the chronicles of Narnia to me and my sister when we were younger I was 12 and my sister 16 we both loved it.
My dad passed away when I was freshly turned adult and all the years and memories I missed out on with him.
Trust me when you’re older you will think back SO fondly of these moments. Please let her continue 🙏🏻
If you think it’s cringe maybe ask her to read while you diamond paint or colour? I can guarantee when you’re an adult with your own kids or the sad day you mom passes away you will absolutely cherish those memories.
Holy shit is my kid on reddit? 😬
I still read books to my kiddo at night (he’s 14 and loves Harry Potter).
If you aren’t my kid then you aren’t alone. But if you are my kid then you’re about to be grounded.
I think it’s sweet.
Don’t measure your life by another person’s yardstick. We are not all the same. Besides, the memories you make as a child will last you a lifetime.
Fabulous way to bond
Most podcasts are just the adult version of this.
Everyone loves a bedtime story!
It’s lovely that you have that bond together. It must mean a lot to you to continue for so long. Do not be embarrassed by this.
A year ago, my dad passed away. I’d give anything to hear him read to me.
Don’t be embarrassed. These are memories you’ll cherish forever.
