[quote=Anonymous]I think I understand your question.  We have kind of a rhythm to the day that includes some TV watching if that's what kids want to do.  Weekdays, kids get up and dressed and eat breakfast.  TV isn't part of it.  After school, kids eat a snack, do homework, and go outside to play.  I had four kids in 5 years, so they play with each other.  But sometimes I play with them, or I will play basketball with the older kids or we will play a board game together.  
Then we eat dinner and kids go to activities.  Those that don't have activities clean up, play music, etc.  Then they get pajamas on.  Once everyone is in PJ's, they can watch some TV if they want to.

On the weekends, we sometimes watch TV before breakfast.  I usually make breakfast.  Once that's on the table, the day starts.  Kids have activities, they play outside, they help clean the house, they read or play games.  We almost always go somewhere in the late morning/early afternoon.  Then, typically around 3-4 pm, things quiet down, and some might watch TV or play video games until dinner, and then again after they get pajamas on before bed.  [/quote]
