Uh, no. I have three kids. I most definitely settle down to binge watch after they've gone to bed. It's my me-time and I look forward to it every night! I take a hot shower, maybe grab a bowl of ice cream or some unending Halloween candy, and get all cozy in my bed. My husband, meanwhile, is binge-watching his shows on the downstairs TV. Anyway, if it's a school night, I can usually only watch two episodes, but on a Friday or Sat., I luxuriate in knowing I can watch as many back-to-backers as I want and still sleep in the next day. Ahhhh!

'binge watching' doesn't mean what you think it means

Nope. I binged on Bletchly Circle this weekend. 3 episodes after kid went to bed on Friday, two last night.

ok, I get that people say no TV or whatever, but this seems a bit overboard.

She was a light sleeper for a stretch. What's your problem?

You have a problem with someone watching TV while their kid sleeps? You have issues.
