Day 13: Kids And TV
13 Nov 2008
As a family we don’t watch a lot of television. Partly because we’re always running around to one activity or another and partly because when we are home there’s just a whole heap of crap on. However we do have a few shows that we all like.
The problem though is that they keep messing around with the schedules. Take Heroes for example. It used to be on at 9:30 and while that’s a bit late for the girls to sit up when there’s school the next day I used to let them so they got right into watching it. But the last few weeks they’ve decided to start it at 10:30 which is way too late for them to stay up - so of course they beg and plead with me, but I don’t let them - hell it’s almost too late for me to stay up. I can’t record it for them cause our video recorder doesn’t work anymore, and even if I could afford it I don’t even know if you can buy them anymore 
it’s all about the dvd recorder and Tivo or whatever it is that’s hitting our shores.
Why do they do this to us? at least when there was a show on the kids watched of an evening I’d get a little peace and quite if/when we were home - well except for the commercial breaks when the kids would feel the need to run around like idiots or stir each other up.
As it is now - I have to go and give up my computer time so some homework can get done - best go and find a good book to read
