We did restrict to a certain number of hours per week (can't remember how long) but the thing we did do is demand that they all read for an hour each night. That included us as parents also. All but my youngest love to read so for her it was torture.Vondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571866779616823715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-16787043462585213192007-06-05T12:04:00.000-05:002007-06-05T12:04:00.000-05:00I read on your blog a while ago, that you do this ...I read on your blog a while ago, that you do this in June, so I decided to do the same. I have 5 kids, the oldest is 10, so it will be a challenge! But we will do it. Whether it kills us (ME) or not in the process is yet to be determined!anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094096384088867161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-73029411969924877742007-06-05T11:27:00.000-05:002007-06-05T11:27:00.000-05:00We don't watch much TV if at all.

But I do remember the withdrawals, even 17 years later :) I watched a lot of TV as a kid, so I guess it all evens out. Of course, this doesn't explain the big screen HD TV my husband bought. Oh well, when we do watch it, it looks great!<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-72973886137390658592007-06-05T09:18:00.000-05:002007-06-05T09:18:00.000-05:00WAY TO GO EVERYONE!

We have watched a movie the last 3 nights in a row - I don't think we watched that many from Sept to May combined! So, anyone is invited to my house for movies...Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816545476882993097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-13987693548264069512007-06-05T08:39:00.000-05:002007-06-05T08:39:00.000-05:00I totally agree with you.

But we did lose our satelite connection, and it took 2 weeks for the repair guy to come. This was near the end of summer. The natives got restless. I can't imagine how they would be for a whole month and not even the rabbit ears or videos.
