I have never seen anyone have health problems from NOT watching TV or eating fast food, but I know lots of examples of the opposite.  So, if my child wants to find out if he is the type of person who can watch TV for hours on end without getting depressed or crabby and/or eat fast food regularly without getting fat, he is going to have to figure that out on his own as an adult: I am not going to be running that experiment on him as a child.[/quote]

Just curious: what are your (and other no-TV posters) plans if when your child gets older starts asking to watch certain things on TV?  You know how it is in school - especially middle school - kids feel like they just have to watch certain shows to fit in, etc.  Will you allow it then?[/quote]

We have no TV and my kids are 10 and 8.  They sometimes watch TV at other peoples' houses, but other than that, it just isn't on their radar screen (so to speak).  They've never said they wished that we had one, or that they wanted to watch X show on TV.

It's not a question of "allowed."  It's just the way we do things in our house.  Some people don't have whatever, or play certain sports, or eat red meat, or whatever.  We don't value and therefore don't have a TV.

It's not an issue here at home.  The only place it's an issue (apparently) is at DCUM.  LOL

For the record, I'm a SAHM.[/quote]
