To those parents who say they can't "fill the day" without TV - seriously?  I am happy that my kid makes up games to play on her own and is never bored.  Parking them in front of the TV just seems like such a cop-out.[/quote]

That's because you have one child who's a girl and young. My nieces don't "need" TV either. They also have never, in my observation, needed to be told to calm down and stop tearing around the house. You really can't understand what having three boy age 5 and under is like.  Why don't you parent my kids for a week? You might see the utility of TV.[/quote]

I do have another child actually, but I can imagine that three young boys is tough and I certainly don't discount that.  Frankly it seems like the pro-TV are people are just as angry and judgemental.  There have been numerous posts on here about how we're over-restrictive social morons if we don't have a TV.  Our preference is not to watch TV - we think it's a giant time-suck.  So we don't have one.  We have other ways we like to spend the day.  Your preference is to watch TV because you enjoy it or because it calms your kids down or whatever.  Great.[/quote]
