Remus Watch

DaddyR saw something on TV (how ironic is that?) that stated that exposing your children to the electronic waves created by television signals can cause "re-wiring" of the child's brain which has some sort of negative impact. While this is not word-for-word from the tv segment DaddyR saw, it has inspired DaddyR (who has never been a fan of how much TV I like to watch) to declare that:

Let me just say this: I LOVE TV. When I was growing up, we were an "out-and-about" family who never got home earlier than 6 or 7 in the evening, and were out all day on the weekends. TV time was hard to come by and we really enjoyed the do-nothingness of it all.

This has translated into adulthood - there is, in my mind, nothing more relaxing than settling down and watching CSI in the dark as I fall asleep. But that has ended with the no TV proclaimation. As my waking hours reflect LM's waking hours, I find that I am not able to see many of the programs I used to love (All the CSI's, Hell's Kitchen, Numbers, Without a Trace...).
And, by chance, if I DO stay up past LM, then I risk spending the rest of the week being a zombie...

All that said, though I DO miss my TV, it has created an atmosphere where LM gets more attention, and where my dear DaddyR and I get to talk a lot more instead of my watching my shows. So, as much as I hate to admit it, the "No TV 'Til He's 2" rule has been a success.... (who would have thought!?!?"
