[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have a TV. We each use our laptops or tablets, or we watch something together on a computer screen that we've set up for movies.[/quote]

My friends do this. They are a big “we don’t own a tv” family but they still watch shows and movies all the time on devices. Why not just get a tv for a better viewing experience?[/quote]

We’re a “no tv” family, but I would never say that out loud to anyone because it implies we don’t watch any shows or movies and that is not true. In our case it’s laziness and the fact that we don’t center our conversations or schedules around shows. Prior to marriage, I had a roommate who owned a TV. My husband also did not own a TV in his house with roommates. We said we’d buy one with wedding gift money, but never got around to it. We finally got a TV just before the pandemic in 2020 when our kids were 5 and 3 and we wanted to watch movies with them. They broke that TV by accident almost 6mo ago by throwing a toy. We thought a good natural consequence of ignoring rules would be for them to live without the TV for a while. We’ll get a new one eventually, but we’re in the middle of some decorating projects and we did not make a dedicated space in our house for a TV besides in the finished basement. [/quote]
