I understand a lot of people are exhausted, especially when there are multiple children involved. But reading books has never suffered from parenting for me.
I wake up at 6AM and spend a while reading on the sofa, before our child wakes up. On an average day, pre-covid19, I'd spend time doing the morning routine (eating breakfast, getting dressed, taking the child to daycare), then I'd sit on a tram/bus for 30 minutes to head to the office. That time would be spent reading.
Lunchtime I'd usually read a book while eating a sandwich, then again reading on the bus/tram back to the house.
Before sleeping I'd read for 30-60 minutes too, unless I was watching a film with my wife, going to the pub, or doing something else.
But even on very busy days I'd always have around and hour of commute time, on public-transport, to read a book.
