[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 23795, member: 1697"] I did not even own a TV until I got married. I never watched it and never went to movies. Sadly my husband lives on a steady diet of TV. He talked me into getting him cable after a few years, especially when we bought our house becuz without cable, there is not even reception to get even 1 TV channel. I have only ever played Pac Man, (when it first came out) but my husband came to our marriage with every game unit and game that was out at that time (1985) I still have only played Game Boy, the original gray one, LOL. I played Dr Mario and Tetris, thats it. LOL. I have watched Spyro, he is cute. My son tried to get me to play video games when we were at Ronald McDonald House, but, I was SO bad he made me turn in my controller. LOL. My husband must have TV on 24-7. When oldest difficult child was younger, she also had to have it on, if you turn it off they flip out and go into some zone----------their docs both said it had something to do with helping them block out something or another. My oldest no longer does this, thank goodness, and now I can sometimes turn off some of the TVs. Even tho I no longer work, I still watch very little TV, and still do not do movies. My easy child does not watch TV and my son and oldest watch occasionally. My husband still keeps TVs on. SOmetimes oldest uses cable to listen to music becuz like TV, we get no radio reception here. I have little luck trying to limit TV or videogames, cuz husband is the biggest addict of all..........Never was able to figure out if he is better off catatonic or sucked into his videogames, I see very little difference between the 2 states. He is just as non responsive and unaware of the world while in a videogame as he was when he stayed catatonic for so many months. PS, LOL, we did not get a DVD player till this Christmas. we have no big screen TVs, no high def, no plasma, no flat ones etc. I did not even get a remote with a TV till maybe 5 years ago. LOL. The only reason I have a TV in my room is becuz my WebTV got moved to my room to free up the TV and web tv requires a TV for a monitor. LOL. [/QUOTE]
