[QUOTE="Fran, post: 23570, member: 3"] We have several TV's. Tv watching was not an issue in our home and I'm not making it one. It was respite when difficult child was younger and it was family share time frequently. My husband loves movies and I like a lot of the shows on tv. I follow them in the evening. I find many good things to watch and intend to keep watching them. We have some limits. It's personal though. When I gave up working outside of my home, I was afraid to get sucked into stereotypical behavior of being a tv watching mom. No TV until 5PM. The kids were pretty good at self limiting TV. Like I said it just wasn't an issue. If I saw they were watching a little more than we were comfortable with, it was easy enough to pull them away. I did not allow tv in their bedrooms so I had some idea of what was being watched. It wasn't even a request on their part so it wasn't an issue. It was just common sense on my part and their part. I figure if all of us who say our kids don't watch a lot of tv is true that the statistics are not accurate. LOL. There were times when difficult child watched more tv than I would like to admit but it was the lesser of the two evils and I don't really care what the experts say. I'll use my own common sense and judgement about tv and allow it in the house. 2 hrs of PBS is preferable to 1hr of some of the action hero movies with the violence and poor behavior. Common sense.
