DS is 7 months and we are decorating his bedroom ready for him to move in. I'm currently in the middle of a huge dispute with DH over whether or not to put a TV in his bedroom.
Until I met DH I very rarely watched TV and spent my time reading or doing outside activities ( I still watched the occasional tv show but maybe a couple of times a week). I never had a TV in my bedroom growing up and the only room we had a TV was the lounge. DH on the other hand was brought up in a household where every room has a TV, very little reading, or anything other than screen time.
I try to avoid screen time for DS but whenever we take him past anything with a screen he is glued to it (and DH and in-laws allow him to watch TV when I'm not there). I'm not against him having limited tv time but DH wants him to have a small TV in his bedroom as he thinks he's going to "need" one when he's a little older and he enjoys watching it now.
To me this is completely crazy at his age and I feel that it's not acceptable for a TV now or throughout his early years. I'm happy to reconsider as a family once he's a teenager and old enough to have his own input.
DH says I'm being old fashioned and boring. AIBU?
...long post. Well done to those who read all of it and thanks in advance!
