Subject: RE: TVwe own a tv, but its in the cold, cluttered, unfinished basement. the kids didn't even know it was there until this winter. we did take it out for the olympics once. in the winter, bill and i will watch stuff while we ride on the trainer, but lately i've been riding in the mornings twice a week, so fi gets to watch seseme street while i listen to tunes on my nano (which is more helpful to my workout anyway ). most of the time i'd rather NOT have a tv in the house at all, but its been nice this past few weeks. i don't like 'plugging in' kids, but now that fi is 2 1/2 i'm okay with her watching a couple hours a week.
we do watch dvds on my imac at night. usually 1-3 a week. lately we've been watching a lot of ray harryhausen movies because ella is interested in how stop motion films are made (we just bought 'corpse bride' ).
i guess i should say that i don't mind tv, i just HATE ads. right up there with hour commutes in a 'you're wasting your life one little bit at a time' kind of way. |
