[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 23577, member: 1514"] We have always had at least one tv. Now that the kids are older we have more than one. Now I think everyone has one. Well that would be more of a DUH! comment wouldnt it...lol since they are all grown up now. When they were younger they didnt have a tv in their rooms and it simply wasnt a problem for any of the kids except my oldest. He was our couch potato. The younger two you couldnt tie down to watch a complete tv show unless they were sick or it was raining so badly they simply couldnt go outside. We had the video games but the same was true for them too. They would play with them for a bit but grew tired of them and wanted to be outside too much. They were active boys! Maybe it helped that we lived in the country and there was room to run, ponds and rivers to fish, trees to climb, forts to build. By the time my kids got out of school all they wanted to do was be outdoors. They would watch some tv at night but they normally fell asleep once they got still. I am a huge tv watcher. I have the tv on 24/7 and cannot sleep without it on. Now Jamie is a video game junkie. He has a gamecube and uses it to relax. He is also a movie buff but I figure since he is an adult...as are all the boys, it is their right to watch what the want. We have noticed that the baby is becoming a tv freak. She loves watching the action on the tube. She especially loves sports like football and NASCAR. I did go out and get her some age appropriate videos...lol. She likes those too. Somehow I am not thrilled with hearing "do you know the muffin man" 100s of times a day...lmao. [/QUOTE]
