[quote=Anonymous]We’re not a TV family mostly because neither me or my husband watch it. My MIL trashed their TV one day when she realized my DH and his siblings seemed more and more glued to it. Of course that meant he went over to friends’ houses instead of them coming to his house but neither he or his siblings (boys) are TV watchers/gamers to this day. My parents didn’t have cable so I also never got into it (did watch PBS after school). My kids are young but we only have one TV and it’s in a cabinet. If the parents watch TV I’m not sure how you’d stop the desire for the kids. My philosophy so far is out of sight out of mind. I will say our problem (as parents) is being on computers/phones too much in front of them. I blame the WFH but it is my own fault and I could/should change it.

For the “what’s wrong with TV” posters - I didn’t actually have a problem with it (again was just a preference for me) until I realized how addicting GAMING is for the younger generation to the point that they’re not interested in anything “normal” - ie spending time outside. A TV show seems less of an issue but gaming good lord, big nope. [/quote]
