[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Used to watch like 5 hours a day. With winter break I’ve watched maybe 1 movie with my spouse because I don’t watch when kids around! Have also started reading again. Read 5 books by reading evenings after kid bedtime and not watching TV. [/quote]

My TV watching has gone way down too. When I was in my 20s, if I wasn't going out with friends, I would just come home and watch like 3+ hours of TV. And then I'd still go read in bed. I just had more energy and I could go to sleep at 11 or 12 and still wake up at 7am for work. Plus I was single and lived alone so I would cook and eat dinner while watching TV. I loved binging series and I'd often binge TV on like a weekend morning if I'd been out late the night before.

Life is just way different in your 40s with a spouse and kids. I basically only watch TV between 8pm and 10pm now and usually I just don't have time to watch more than an hour, because I have to do stuff around the house, finish up some work, do something for the kids, or I just get tired and can't watch because I will fall asleep.

I both watch less TV *and* read less now than when I was younger. I need more sleep and have more obligations generally. Even when DH and I watch TV, one or both of us will fall asleep 15-30 minutes in at least half the time. I remember when Squid Game came out and everyone was talking about it, we tried to watch it and I never caught more than 20 minutes of an episode. I still don't actually know what that show was about. I'd wake up and something really gory and horrifying would be going on but I'd have no context so I'd just go to bed.[/quote]
