[quote=Anonymous]My nearly 4 yo son probably watches an hour of TV a day on weekdays.  Maybe 2 hours, depending on the day.  Other days (when the weather isn't craptastic) we try to go to the park or get together with friends, which might mean no TV for the day.   I'm not a fan of McDs (just because it doesn't appeal to me), so we don't eat it more than once every two or three months.  (normally while we're waiting at an airport or traveling)  However, we go to Chick Fil A every two weeks or so.  He also gets to eat a sweet (some chocolate pudding or chocolate covered sunflower seeds or a chocolate covered frozen banana; he's a chocolate lover like his momma) after dinner each night.  He also eats pretty much any fruit or veggie you put in front of him, so I think a little sugar is fine.

I try to do things in some moderation, although I struggle with constant guilt over the TV.  My husband is gone Monday through Friday, and I have the hardest time getting anything done without turning on the TV.  I try to balance it out by reading with my son a lot and doing other interactive things, but the TV is my go to when the house is a disaster.  My mom keeps telling me to get over it, as the child gets constant stimulation, but I really worry about the amount of TV I let him watch.[/quote]
