[QUOTE="Shari, post: 360434, member: 1848"] I watch very little tv. If I do, its Discovery channel or country music videos. I don't watch any regular shows. If I am home alone and cleaning, I will turn the tv on to a music station in both rooms and turn it up so I can hear it in the whole house. I'm I'm home alone and not cleaning, I'm dang sure not watching tv. *** Wee regularly turns the tv OFF. It bothers him to build Lego's with background noise. We recently moved his Lego's to the "Lego Lair" in his room, and he loves it. If husband is in the house, the tv is on, and I didn't realize how much friction there was between the 2 of them for that. Wee will watch a show or two and then turn it off and go to the Lego Lair. We branched the tv in our room off into his room as well (same station on both tv's) and now that the Lego's are out of the living room, he rarely turns his on anymore. *** husband gets a minimum of 3 hours of screen time a day. I've seen that go up to 8 or 10 hours. He can not do ANYTHING until whatever is on his screen has a logical breaking point....family outings have had to wait to leave for 2 or 3 hours before until the show he turned on to watch while he ate his breakfast finished....God forbid we leave in the middle or just not turn it on the begin with. *** easy child 1 turns it on all the time but sleeps to it. difficult child 1 was a tv addict, too, but is much better about it now. *** Wee and I spent the evening last night with our Amish friends. This was on my mind, as well. [/QUOTE]
