what you don’t have. We have been without cable TV for one week. The kids have not asked once to watch their TV shows. We do have a wii and we limit our son’s screen time to 30 minutes a day. I am shocked at how well this is working out and asking why we didn’t take the plunge sooner. Remember, this issue has been ongoing since the spring of 2011 and if I recall correctly, it was discussed earlier than that.
I am enjoying the peacefulness of our home without the noise of the TV. I am loving seeing my kids play more often and using their imaginations. Our DD was never much for the TV so I wasn’t worried about her but, for DS, the TV was a vortex that sucked him in. As for DH and I, well, we never watched TV anyways. After all day, the last thing I wanted to do at night was sit in front of the tube. I never caught on with all the reality tv shows which is nothing but over the top drama anyways. If I want entertainment, I would rather choose a movie or read a book.
Here are some shots taken from the past week of how much more peaceful our home has been.
I would have to say the ‘no cable TV’ goal for 2012 has been a success.
Check!
I am nearly finished the knitting the sweater too. Soon to be another ‘check’ on that 2012 wish list.
