[QUOTE="Janna, post: 23475, member: 2737"] Jannie, We have televisions here, but we have NO cable. We don't even get local channels. The boys are limited on their television time. ALL movies they watch have to be approved and watched by SO and I first (or rated G). They do have a Playstation II, a VCR and DVD player. The way it works here is they are allowed either 30 minutes PS II time each per evening or they may watch one movie. However, before they can, all homework, dinner, chores, showers MUST be done first. There is no bending this rule, no exceptions. On weekends, the TV is not allowed on until after dinner. This forces them to find other things to do. We do bend this weekend rule if it's raining outside. That is the only exception for that. Yes, we're horribly mean to our children. You know what? My kids have all calmed down alot since the removal of all the television. Yeah, hard for them at first, but now, they don't even seem to care. Janna [/QUOTE]
