Our DVR days are over. <br /><br />I don't mind watching Monk on Netflix, especially since it puts me to sleep in 5 minutes, but once you DVR Monk, you start asking yourself existential questions.BloggerFatherhttp://www.bloggerfather.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-26243132619458334262013-05-02T11:19:46.886-04:002013-05-02T11:19:46.886-04:00It's been great so far (for the kids--less for...It's been great so far (for the kids--less for their parents). I'm updating this post every day, and while the kids are thriving, we're FALLING APART (well, not exactly, but it ain't easy).BloggerFatherhttp://www.bloggerfather.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-21200488144998930082013-05-02T11:18:02.986-04:002013-05-02T11:18:02.986-04:00They can't play on the computer/tablet/iPhone ...They can't play on the computer/tablet/iPhone -- That's why they call it "screen-free" and not "TV-free" -- They know about the loopholes...BloggerFatherhttp://www.bloggerfather.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-28085144998405893962013-05-02T11:16:39.943-04:002013-05-02T11:16:39.943-04:00Ha, you can start today!

But I remember from my quitting smoking days that there's no good time to quit. Every time I tried turned out to be "the worst time to do that," so I never quit (until I did).BloggerFatherhttp://www.bloggerfather.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-58598220615087713462013-04-30T16:06:59.878-04:002013-04-30T16:06:59.878-04:00Good luck to ya!

Anyway, I can see how this can be a positive, but I am glad my kids school is not doing it.Larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-38096669058615667402013-04-30T10:36:35.859-04:002013-04-30T10:36:35.859-04:00We also allow our children to watch tv in moderati...We also allow our children to watch tv in moderation. I have found having it on as background (which is something I did even when I was single), leads to very little actual tv watching. (Dora is on in the living room, the girls are in the dining room painting as I type). That being said, I think I will try the tv blackout. My older daughter would stay glued to the tv 24-7 if we let her (and Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-36737614674201700632013-04-29T15:06:13.586-04:002013-04-29T15:06:13.586-04:00thank goodness for dvr!thank goodness for dvr!Lance Howellnoreply@blogger.com
