Do your kids have tvs.....

[mamaprincess]

Not only do my kids have tvs in their rooms but they also have dvc players and there own dvrs. I couldn't talk hubby out of it. We have tvs everywhere. The only thing he did for me is agree to hide them behind cabinets and armoires so I wouldn't have to look at tvs everywhere. Our house would look like Bestbuy if it were up to him.

I will "cushion" this by saying that my kids don't watch much tv. They have to much homework when they get home and we are to busy during the weekends. They would also rather be out riding their bikes. My 3 year old likes her Disney movie collection and watches a little tv but never uses it to go to sleep. TV is more an obsession of DH and even he watches very little. He just likes electronics of every kind around him. He's an engineer.

My kids don't have a tv in their rooms, in face DH and I don't either. We used to and then decided to take it out and now we read more or even just chit chat before bed. So we are officially a 1 tv family.
Now my kids have friends that have tvs but it has never really impressed them.

Yep, now that sounds like my dh, too. I swear he would buy some new electronic every month if I would let him. We have the big screen in the family room, plus tv's in all 3 bedrooms, and he keeps talking about getting another tv! I ask him why, since the 2 yr old tv in our bedroom only gets turned on maybe once a week ( so I can watch CSI Miami at 10:30pm), but I think he just likes to be surrounded by electronics.

My kids don't have tvs in their room either and they are 8 and 11. I have 4 other tv's in the house including one in the media room and I see no need for the kids to have a tv in their rooms! NO computers either!!!

My DD (5) has a tv/vcr/dvd/DVR HD and a computer with internet in her room. I grew up with a B/W TV and a computer in my room. It started out with the C-64 and went on from there. I was on BBS before there was an "internet" I was programing in basic by the time I was in 5th grade and went to college for computer science (most of the classes I took I could have taught). I was in the national honor society in HS. I also read like there is no tomorrow (upsets DW that I read a book in a night) I have always been very active as my DD is now. I played hockey, lacrosse, Bow hunt and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I turned out ok. I still sleep with the tv or music on (my ears ring and the silence keeps me up.) There is way too much information at your fingertips. My DD is exactly like me an information sponge she absorbs everything she can. By no means does she get glued in front of the TV, so I let her monitor her tv time, usually she gets bored with it and would rather surf the web for stuff about farming or hunting (god bless her), or go ride her quad or just walk in the fields. She loves doing both, nothing cuter than a 5 year old girl asking to drive a Deere or go hunting for a deer. I'm sure she'll turn out a warped as I. But to each his/her own. well thats my 2 cents. sorry I rambled a bit.

DD10 came home from getting DD6 at her friends house the other day and said boy that girl is spoiled.She has her own T.V in her room.That little girl is spoiled but not because of the t.v.I told DD10 that maybe it is her parents way of getting rid of her and her tantrums/ Just a guess.

You have to be careful about letting opposite sex kids watching t.v. alone especially in their rooms.My parents never inforced the door always has to be open rule with me.Maybe they should have.But i really was a good kid.Nothing happened too bad,but it probably could have.

There is also no computer attached to the internet in anyone's room either.

We currently have 4 TV's in our house one in the living room, master bedroom and in each of the girls rooms. DD6 has the cinderella tv and dd3 has the princess tv. DD6 has the princess dvd player and dd3 has the princess vcr/dvd player. We have satelite in their rooms but the tvs currently aren't hooked up to it not that it would matter b/c dd6 only want to watch the disney channel any way and dd3 can't change the channel so she only gets to watch/listen to sprout and disney. For along time I did put the tv on for dd's and I usually still do at least for dd3 more times than none though I have been playing cd's for them at night.
