I grew up with a general rule about the tv not being on during daylight hours unless it's raining. We were always encouraged to do other things like reading or playing outside. There was plenty of tv allowed in the evening so we didn't feel deprived. My DH however was brought up in a house where the tv was on for a large part of the day, even if no-one was watching. AiBU that DH turns the tv on at weekends and watches it with DS (4 months)? Sometimes it's Kiddie stuff so I don't mind too much but sometimes it's things he wants to watch that I don't really want DS exposed to e.g. Action films. Am I being a complete spoil sport or do I have a point? I just don't want DS to grow up thinking the tv should be on all the time. Also don't want him to think daddy is the soft touch and I am the horrid mummy...
