Is that even legal? I'm sure it's some form of child abuse/neglect. Does this include the grown-ups once the kids are in bed? Maybe I'll wait to see how it works for you and then I'll try it?Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120171692411902970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-10645396813216213392008-05-29T18:11:00.000-05:002008-05-29T18:11:00.000-05:00We gave up TV three years ago.

It is the best thing we ever did for our kids (we have an 8, 6, 4, and 2yr old). Their creativity and imagination powers are superior to just about any other kids I know. BTW, we homeschool and there are days I pine for a little TV distraction for the kids. We do watch the occasional video.

In fact, the first couple of years of our marriage we actually put it back in its box. We now have a big flat screen and the Dish... along with the contract to have the Dish... which means that this will be the first year in all these years that we will have our TV connected all year. We've discovered the Discovery channel.... Myth Busters, World's Deadliest catch, and Dirty Jobs are all recorded on the DVR... so at least we aren't wasting time watching commercials!<BR/><BR/>Really, it is only hard the first couple of days. Y'all will be used to it before you know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
