THEY ARE AGES 2 AND 6. MY OLDEST ACTUALLY LEARNED ALL OF HER ALPHABET, NUMBERS, COLORS, AND SHAPES THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS BEFORE SHE EVEN STARTED ANY KIND OF SCHOOL. MY SON (2) CAN ALREADY COUNT TO 11. NEITHER ONE ARE OVERWEIGHT, AND THEY STILL LOVE TO PLAY OUTSIDE. PLUS IT LEAVES MY TELEVISION OPEN FOR MORE GROWN UP ENTERTAINMENT (DR. PHIL ANYONE?). SOMEONE TELL ME THE CONS AGAIN PLEASE CAUSE I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY YET. ALSO, NEITHER CHILD GOES TO SLEEP WITH THE TELEVISION ON. IT IS JUST ENFORCING RULES AND KEEPING WITH THEM.

We have a TV in our room - we also have an elliptical machine, and our computer (my office) in there - our bedroom is jam-packed. My husband suggested getting a TV in Jack's room just last night, as we're trying to get him back to sleeping in his room (I got him to sleep in there tonight, reading 20 books did the trick). He thinks the background noise would help Jack sleep. I countered that, if we want background noise, we can put a radio in his room and let NPR's late night classical selection be his background noise. I'd really rather he not have a TV in there. And there WILL NOT EVER be a computer in there. With all the crazies out there, I plan to keep the computer in our bedroom. If he needs/wants to use it, he can use it in plain sight of his Mommy.

I think the phrase "over my dead body" would apply. I’ve also pretty much opposed to the idea of putting TVs in the girls’ rooms. I think the phrase “over my dead body” would apply.
