[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 340070, member: 4264"] We have a big screen t.v. in the living room with satellite. So it's the one most want to watch. We have a t.v. in my bedroom with basic cable as well. The rule here is kind of flexible. We tend to watch family programming during hours easy child is around since she is only 10. However, if there is a program S/O or I really want to watch that is not age appropriate, if we can't catch it later on timeshifting, we have easy child watch in my bedroom or go play in her room. We try to avoid this but sometimes its something we really want to watch. difficult child has complete dibs on the bedroom t.v. when there is a basketball game on that is important to him. Its his only "request" for t.v., the basketball games, so there is no fighting if someone else wanted to watch that t.v. He gets it. Period. Only fair since otherwise it is always usually easy child or the adults deciding. When easy child wants to watch cartoons all day long however, we do step in and either shut it off (only so many hours you can have cartoon voices playing in the background) or we do the 'dvd only rule'. And the rule for that is only dvd's that even the adults would like if we are also in the living room. [/QUOTE]
